A Cranbrook man has been sentenced to three years behind bars after robbing a bank in Revelstoke.

In November, 32-year-old Henry Jon Christian Harder pleaded guilty to one count of robbery in connection to the incident on April 6, 2018.

Police said in a news release that Harder entered a TD bank around 6:50 p.m. and demanded money, before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of currency in a blue Pontiac Sunfire.
