OTTAWA -- Ottawa police say a man accused of robbing a bank on Rideau Street last week followed physical distancing protocols before allegedly slipping the teller a note.
Police said they were called at around 11:30 a.m. Friday on reports a man had passed a note to a teller demanding cash. He left with an undisclosed amount before police arrived.
Police said the suspect waited in line outside the bank, per COVID-19 protocols, before making the alleged demand once inside.
A suspect was arrested a short time later without incident.
Police said Davis Morris, 58, of Ottawa, is facing one count of robbery and appeared in court for a show cause hearing on Sunday.
