Durham Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses to come forward in an armed robbery investigation in Pickering.
On December 8, at about 7 pm, members of West Division responded to an armed robbery at the Meridian Credit Union on Kingston Road.
Two male suspects, both armed with handguns entered the bank and made a demand for cash from the employees. The suspects then forced the employees into the vault and took a quantity of cash before fleeing the scene (see earlier story below).
Meridian Credit Union was previously offering a $15,000 reward; however, they are now offering a $30,000 reward to anyone who provides any information that leads to the arrest of the two males involved. Meridian advised this is a further step taken by them to help protect its employees and its members, said a police statement
