BC man charged after explosions at Edmonton banks last year

A B.C. man faces multiple charges in connection with two explosions at Edmonton banks last year.

No one was injured after an improvised explosive device was detonated in the vestibule of a bank last September as armoured guards were arriving.

Two other guards suffered serious injuries and a thief made off with an undisclosed amount of money following a second blast at another bank in December.

Police say they recovered some of the money after tracking a suspect to Salmon Arm who is believed to have been planning another attack.
