Ottawa police have arrested one suspect and are looking for two others after employees at a Bitcoin financial institution were held up at gunpoint Tuesday.
|
||
The attempted robbery happened on Concourse Gate off Colonnade Road just before 11 a.m., police said in a media release issued Wednesday.
|
||
Three suspected entered the business armed with handguns, gained control over four employees and bound them, police said. One of the employees was struck on the head with a gun.
|
||
A fifth employee, who remained unseen in an office, contacted police, and the suspects fled empty-handed.

|
||
The employee who was struck in the head was taken to hospital for treatment.
|
||
Arriving officers saw one of the suspects run into a ravine north of Colonnade Road, and "extensive resources" were deployed to find him, including tactical and K-9 unit officers. The suspect was arrested later Wednesday "without incident," police said.
|
||
The arrested man, a 19-year-old from Ottawa, was charged with:
|
||
Five counts of robbery with a firearm.
|
||
Five counts of pointing a firearm.
|
||
Five counts of forcible confinement.
|
||
One count of wearing a disguise.
|
||
One count of carrying a concealed weapon.
|
||
One count of conspiracy to commit and indictable offence.
|
||
One count of possessing a firearm while prohibited.
|
||
One count of possessing a loaded, regulated firearm.
|
||
Police are searching for the other two suspects, and are hoping to speak to a person of interest who was inside the business when the three suspects arrived.
|
||
Investigators are expected to return to the scene Wednesday to search for additional evidence.
|
||
Anyone with information is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Yikes! Three armed men tried to rob a Bitcoin Exchange in Canada

||
As many non-tech savvy people think that Bitcoin looks like a Gold coin as illustrated in many stock images, perhaps these robbers also planned to rob a cryptocurrency exchange thinking that way.
|
||
|
||
All jokes apart, we saw one such attempt on Tuesday morning, when three men armed with handguns entered the offices of a Canadian Bitcoin exchange in Ottawa, and restrained four of its employees.
|
||
|
||
The intruders then struck one of the employees in the head with a handgun, asking them to make an outbound transaction from the cryptocurrency exchange.

||
|
||
A fifth employee in another cabin, who remained unseen in an office, called the police before any assets could be taken, and the robbers left empty-handed.
|
||
|
||
One of the suspects arrested later Wednesday after arriving police officers saw him run into a ravine north of Colonnade Road and deployed "extensive resources," including K-9 unit officers, to find him, CBC News reports.
|
||
"Police are looking for two additional suspects, both described as black males," the police says. "Investigators are also interested in identifying and speaking to a person of interest that was inside the premise as the suspects arrived. That person did not remain at the scene."
|
||
The suspect in custody, identified as 19-year-old Jimmy St-Hilaire, has been charged with the following offences:
|
||
5 counts of robbery with a firearm
|
||
5 counts of point a firearm
|
||
5 counts of forcible confinement
|
||
Wear disguise
|
||
Conspiracy to Commit an indictable offence
|
||
Carry concealed weapon
|
||
Possess firearm while prohibited
|
||
Possess weapon for committing an offence
|
||
Possess loaded regulated firearm
|
||
St-Hilaire is set to appear in court on January 24, 2018. Ottawa police are now looking for the remaining two suspects.
