Alta. man robs bank after taking vehicle, salesman for test drive
By The Canadian Press
EDMONTON - An Edmonton auto salesman may have been a little suspicious when a man test driving a truck said he had to stop at a local bank for a minute.
Police say the man told the salesman he had to get the money to buy the truck he was test driving. The man indeed got cash to pay for the vehicle - by passing the teller a note demanding money.
The salesman eventually grew suspicious when the suspect told him he wanted his friend to check out the vehicle before he bought it.
He grabbed the keys and called 911 while the suspect was stopped at a gas station.
Police say the suspect fled on foot and is still at large.
