Tipped off by a security guard, police arrested a 42-year-old city man suspected of a pair of recent bank robberies.
About 4:15 p.m. yesterday, a loss prevention officer at The Bay in Chinook Mall saw a shopper fitting the description of a thief suspected of holding up a CIBC only 20 minutes earlier.
Calgary police arrested the man and charged him.
Further investigation revealed the suspect is also believed to be responsible for knocking off an ATB branch at 2140 34 Ave S.W. on Monday.
Kenneth Michael Griff of Calgary is charged with two counts of robbery.


That loss prevention officer at The Bay Chinook Mall is my loss prevention officer. Logan caught a bank robber. And he is pretty happy about it. He has received a lot of attention because of it.

As I may or may not have been recording - Logan has sent in his application with the Calgary City Police. He has been through the physical, eye exam, 100 probing questionnaire about everything in his past, and most recently the aptitude test. We are awaiting results as we speak. So after this bank robber thing some of the cops that he works with all of the time have been asking when he is putting in his application - he replies that he already has. They have all said they will be writing a letter to recruiting. He even had cops from the Robbery Unit thank him. Yes, he has been quite the hero these past couple of days!

Wow -- big congrats to Logan! That's definitely a step in the right direction! Sorry about the house hunt too... I'm sure something'll come up.

Our hero ... we can't be more proud! If this is any indication of how he will do as a police officer, Logan will do great things.
