B.C. RCMP are releasing new details around its investigation into a bank robbery that left two suspects dead and six police officers injured in Saanich, B.C., last June, including the suspects’ motive.
Police said Mathew and Isaac Auchterlonie, both 22, had a goal to get into a shootout with police when they went into the Bank of Montreal branch near midday on June 28, heavily armed with semi-automatic rifles and body armour.
Investigators said Friday the men had strong “anti-government” and “anti-police views” and wanted to kill as many officers as possible.
