Police are searching for two men following a robbery on Dutch Village Road.
Just after 11p.m. Monday a man was using the Bank of Nova Scotia ATM when two masked men entered.
One of them produced a knife and demanded $500.
The victim said he didn’t have that kind of money and took off.
Halifax Regional Police Sgt. Kevin McNeil says he forgot something important in his hurry to leave.
“The victim left his bank card in the machine active, and the culprits were able to access his account,” he said. “The two culprits fled the bank and when the victim re-entered and checked his account he indicated some money had been removed from the account.”
The suspects are described as two 17 year-old males wearing dark hoodies. One stands about six feet tall and has a thin moustache; the other is about five-feet-nine-inches.
