The incident occurred Wednesday morning at the drive-thru at the TD Bank on Ardagh Road. As the woman, 31, was beginning her transaction, a man approached, say police, revealed a small knife and told the woman to drive away.
She complied, leaving her debit card in the machine, and called 911 from a nearby location. The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect is described as a white male, slim build and medium height. He was reportedly wearing a white ski mask, dark coloured baseball cap, and a white shirt.
