Mitchell also said there were no injuries reported during the incident, adding that while bank robbery is a serious crime, it is the safety of the bank employees that is of utmost importance to investigators. Meanwhile, detectives arrived at the credit union to process the scene, efforts that were still underway and will continue for some time. A broadcast was also sent out to surrounding agencies to be on the lookout for the suspect. Patrol officers began circulating through the area in search of the suspect. The suspect was also wearing a black baseball hat with white writing in the middle of the hat. The suspect is described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic male in his 30s wearing a light-blue fleece jacket with black pants and black Nike tennis shoes, each with a white stripe. “But we’re not sure if he had a weapon at the time.” “What we know is that he did demand money,” Mitchell said. The details on whether or not there was a weapon were limited. He then fled the building through a side door and reportedly ran west with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police say the suspect entered the credit union and demanded money from one of the bank tellers. Notifying the FBI is common practice during this type of incident, Mitchell said, since they have resources and manpower on a federal level that can assist in the investigation and apprehension of the person involved. The FBI was also notified and responded to assist. She said once the credit union was closed to customers and the scene secured, detectives were called in.
