The Prince George RCMP would like to remind people to be extra careful at bank machines, especially during the early hours of the morning. Whenever possible, attend bank machines with a trusted friend or use drive-thru machines. If you find yourself in this situation, the best course of action is not to engage the suspect, as he or she may have a weapon and is likely motivated by drug addiction. Money can be replaced. Cooperate and call police as soon as possible.

Nice of someone to intervene. I would really hate to see someone get away with such a cowardly act (would he have tried to rob a fit looking male?)
Addiction truly does cause people to become desperate. Sad, really.
metalman.
What this guy did was heroic, really hope he is recognized for what he did.
He didn’t have to do anything but he stepped up and dealt with it.
He could have been seriously hurt but he did what a lot of others would have stepped away from.
Congratulations and thank god you were there.
