He apparently intended to rob a bank, but forgot one important thing -- the money.

RCMP Constable Steve Holmes says the man in question attempted to rob the downtown branch of Interior Savings Credit Union Thursday morning.

"He produced a note to the teller demanding money, and included a threat. The suspect became nervous, however while waiting to receive the money, and fled the building empty handed, says Holmes.

"Police moved quickly to set up a perimeter and brought in Air 3 in an attempt to locate the suspect, who was last seen on foot going in an unknown direction."

He says the man is described as being in his late 20's, 5'6" to 5'7" with a skinny build. He was clean shaven with a shaved head.

He was wearing gray baggy pants, a black t-shirt with some kind of logo on the front and a gray hoodie with a silver pattern on it.

Holmes says the hood was pulled over the man's head.

He also had white sunglasses and white shoes.

Police deployed Air 3 and the dog squad in an effort to locate the man.
