Hostage recalls both robbers were ‘so calm, so composed’ while in the bank.
The Saanich police officer, who was shot during the robbery, remains in hospital, while a Victoria police officer who was also shot has been discharged. Another Saanich officer remains in hospital recovering from injuries sustained while responding to the June 28 robbery.
A Victoria woman who was inside the bank when it was robbed said Monday that as she entered the bank with another woman, she heard a man yelling. Later, she realized he must have been trying to warn them not to go in. “As soon as I came in, he walked toward me and said: ‘Get down.’ ” She sat on the floor in the closest office and later moved into the doorway of the vault near those already in the bank. Both of the men were “so calm, so composed,” Lesa said, describing the situation as eerie and surreal. “There was no agitation in their body language.”The door to the vault was open, she said. She does not know if they took any money out of it.
Lesa was terrified that her husband, who had been waiting for her outside, might have been hurt in the gunfire, but he turned out to be safe. A police officer found him to say that Lesa was unhurt, she said.
