Man sought in Cottonwood Heights credit union robbery attempt

Cottonwood Heights police are continuing their search for a man who tried to rob a credit union Thursday morning.

It happened shortly before 8:00 a.m. at American United Families Credit Union, 2277 Ft. Union Blvd. The suspect was waiting for an employee of American United Families Credit Union to unlock the building.

"He obviously planned it, knew what time the bank employee got there. He was hiding in the bushes, don't know how long he was waiting, it was twenty degrees outside. So it was pretty well orchestrated by the bad guy," said Sgt. Gary Young, Cottonwood Heights Police.

When a manager arrived and began unlocking the door, the suspect approached her and forced her inside.

The suspect then tied up the woman and ordered her to help him open the vault.?

"He demands money, demands access to the vault, he has a small caliber handgun, possibly a .380, then he ties her up," said Young.

At some point, an alarm was triggered and the suspect left the scene without any money. But police say he was spotted a short time later casually strolling through the parking lot.

Police say fresh snow helped them identify the direction the suspect was traveling and collect footprints for their investigation.

The suspect was described as Hispanic or possibly Filipino, 5'6" tall, with a medium build and acne scarring on his face.

Police consider the suspect armed, dangerous and very daring.

Anyone with information is asked to call (801) 840-4000.
