Two unmasked armed men robbed the Royal Bank of Canada on Main and Seventeenth in broad daylight. They forced Manager Steaven and a clerk into the vault while another clerk was knocked unconscious with a revolver blast and $1999 was stolen. A cage key mishap trapped one clerk, who tossed keys to a box and delayed the robbers while they searched for a poker to reach them. Police have a good description but no escape route yet. This marks the fourth Vancouver Royal Bank hold up in two years.
