VANCOUVER — Police say four people were taken to hospital after a car crash in east Vancouver as police investigated two bank robberies.

Const. Jason Doucette says none of those who were injured were involved in the alleged bank robberies, describing them as “innocent civilians.”

Doucette says officers received reports of robberies at two separate banks within 30 minutes on Saturday afternoon.
