Canton Banked Robbed Again

It's a good thing I live on the safe side of town because last night a bank was robbed for the 3rd time in Canton. Here is the story from WWNYTV.Net.

Police set up roadblocks around Canton Friday night, trying to catch the person who robbed the SeaComm Federal Credit Union.
7 News reporter John Friot, at the scene, said a person carrying a duffel bag entered the building shortly before 6 pm.
Authorities said the person was believed to be a white man. He was wearing a ski mask.
It’s not clear whether he was armed, but Friot reports authorities believe he got money from the credit union.
Police said they were following tracks in the snow.
The credit union is on East Main Street, on the eastern side of Canton.
Friot said he saw police checking every vehicle leaving Canton on Route 11.
There were all roadblocks near Potsdam and in Gouverneur.
Canton village police were leading the case, with assistance from the sheriff’s department, state police and Potsdam police.
Scott Wilson, the chief operating officer of SeaComm, was on scene. Police could be seen reviewing a videotape of the suspect in the building.
The SeaComm credit union was also robbed in December 2006, where robbers reportedly got $270,000.
In July 2006, the MBT Bank in Canton was robbed of $10,000.
