On December 14, 1962, three men, one dressed as Santa Claus, walked into the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch in the Montreal suburb of St. Laurent. Within just five minutes they had taken up $142,966 in cash, bonds, and travelers’ checks, killed two policemen, and fled the bank unscathed. The murders sparked the biggest manhunt in Montreal's, and possibly Canada's, police history.
