Jan. 24/18 3 armed men bound employees at Bitcoin office.
Three suspects entered the business armed with handguns, gained control over four employees and bound them, police said. One of the employees was struck on the head with a gun.
A fifth employee, who remained unseen in an office, contacted police, and the suspects fled empty-handed.
Video shot from the passenger seat of a passing vehicle shows the manhunt in Nepean Ontario Canada:
The robbery had customers and employees of the industrial park area on edge.
"I probably won't be able to actually work overnight," said Dawen Zhang, who works at a startup company near Concourse Gate.
There was still a good deal of police activity at the scene Wednesday afternoon, more than 24 hours after the attempted robbery.
Paul Holmes, a frequent customer of another business in the same building as the bitcoin operation, said he was shocked the incident happened in broad daylight.
"It just speaks to how bold the suspects are," he said.
Police are searching for the other two suspects, and are hoping to speak to a person of interest who was inside the business when the three suspects arrived.
