No one hurt after police say 3 suspects robbed Wainfleet bank

Three masked men are wanted by police after the armed robbery of the Meridian Credit Union in Wainfleet late Thursday afternoon.

Police say the suspects walked in around 4:30, wearing skeletal masks, one had a handgun, another had an edged weapon similar to a machete, and police are working to determine if another gun was used.

The suspects demanded some money, which they received, before running off and getting into what's believed to be a stolen white Honda Civic. They took off heading northbound on Highway 3.

Police add no bank employees or customers were hurt.

They also say witnesses heard the criminals speak with accents.
