February 7th, 2009 |

By Precious Yutangco | Toronto Star

YORK, ONTARIO (Canada) – A man has been arrested in connection to two bank robberies in York on Wednesday.

The first occurred at a Scotiabank, where a male handed a note to a teller demanding cash, said Toronto police. He fled after the teller handed money over.

On the same day, police also responded to a robbery at a Bank of Montreal, where a male also produced a note and demanded cash.

Then shortly after that, a man appeared at a CIBC and tried to execute a transaction. The manager became suspicious, seized the cash and then called police.

Robel Negash, 21, a native of Ethiopia, is charged with possessing property obtained by crime and two counts of robbery.
