Man robbed after withdrawing money from ATM in Hamilton

The Hamilton Police Service is investigating an early morning robbery that happened at a Hamilton Mountain bank ATM.

On Thursday, June 10th, 2010 at approximately 2:30 a.m., a 20 yr. old male was using a bank ATM at the corner of Upper James St. and Mohawk Rd. when he was confronted by a male armed with a handgun.

A second male suspect was standing outside the ATM. The two suspects then fled to a waiting silver coloured van that fled south on Upper James St. The victim was not physically harmed.
