n November 30th, 2015, at approximately 1:20 pm, a man walked into the Royal Bank of Canada branch in Chase, brandished a long-barrelled firearm, and demanded money. After obtaining a quantity of cash, the man departed the bank and got into the passenger side of a newer white GMC SUV. The vehicle headed southbound on Chase St., and may have turned onto Hwy 1, however the direction of travel is unknown. The male was disguised, but described as approximately 5’10” tall, and 180-190 lbs. He was wearing a white hoody with a “Fox” logo on the chest, a multi-coloured balaclava, black pants and gloves, and carried a black fabric grocery-type bag. The second suspect driving the SUV was not seen. No one was injured in this incident. If you see, or know of, these suspects, do not approach as they are considered armed and dangerous. Call 9-1-1 immediately. Chase RCMP is asking anyone with information about this crime to call Chase Detachment at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.

Volunteer Maureen MacDonald said that almost all of the food on their shelves has been donated from residents in the Chase area. With this support, the Chase Hamper Society has been able to provide 245 emergency hampers so far this year. MacDonald said the need for hampers is different week to week, noting that sometimes they would only give out two and other weeks 15. The society serves clients in Chase, Pritchard, Turtle Valley, and Chase Creek, as well as the three surround bands. Cont’d on page 7
