Police were on the lookout downtown for a bank robber armed not with a gun but a bouquet of roses.

The man entered the RBC in the 200 block of 5th Avenue S.W. around 3 p.m. Wednesday.

He approached the teller and demanded money. After getting some cash, he ran off.

Police said the man is Caucasian, late 40s, five foot seven to five foot nine, and 150 to 165 pounds. He was clean shaven, had glasses, a dark jacket, blue plaid work shirt, blue jeans and running shoes. He was wearing a white tuque with a Canada flag.

He was carrying the flowers as well as a blue plastic shopping bag.
