When the victim refused they were assaulted by the suspect and forced to withdraw cash from an ATM.

RCMP haven’t been able to identify the suspect so are releasing images of him in an effort to to advance the investigation.

If you can identify the suspect you’re asked to call Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 and quote file #2026-7183.
