Police 'amazed' by customers who thwarted armed bank robbery in Abbotsford

Police say a suspect is in custody after customers in a bank in Abbotsford, B.C., refused to obey orders from a shotgun-brandishing robber and tackled him instead. 

A statement from Abbotsford police says a man entered a Scotiabank branch in the city just before noon Wednesday and ordered customers to the floor.

As he threw bags onto a counter and demanded money, police say one customer confronted him and three more  stepped up.
