Saskatoon police say a former Winnipeg television news director is a person of interest in a bank robbery that occurred over the summer.

Stephen Vogelsang, who is 53, is facing five bank robbery charges — two in Medicine Hat, Alta., and three in Regina.

Police in Saskatoon say the robbery occurred on July 31 but they haven’t laid any charges yet.

Vogelsang is currently in custody in Medicine Hat and hasn’t answered the Regina charges in court yet.  

Vogelsang was a journalism instructor at Red River College in Winnipeg from 2002 until 2011.

Before that, he worked as a sports anchor at CKY, which is now CTV Winnipeg, before becoming news director.
