HALIFAX — Police say an armed man dressed as Batman tried to hold up an armoured vehicle as guards were making a delivery at a bank in the Halifax area.
Clad in a Batman mask, a hoodie and jeans, the man approached guards at a Royal Bank branch in Lower Sackville on Thursday around 11:20 p.m.
Officers say the man, believed to be in his 20s, fled the scene in a nearby minivan.
No one was hurt.
Police continue to search for a suspect.
