Lorain Man Indicted For Robbing Credit Union

LORAIN, OH — A 26-year-old Lorain man has been accused of robbing a credit union in his hometown, prosecutors announced.

Travone Edwards, 26, was indicted this week on one count of interference with commerce by means of robbery. He was investigated by the FBI and the Lorain police department.

On Feb. 28, 2020, a man walked into the GenFed Financial Credit Union on Oberlin Avenue in Lorain. The man gave a note to the bank teller that said, "Put all 50s and 100s in the bag, don't say anything, make a scene, or call the police or I will shoot," a criminal complaint said.

The teller complied and filled a bag with cash. The man then ran out of the bank, prosecutors said. Investigators later identified Edwards as the suspect, a criminal complaint indicated.

Edwards was taken into custody on April 17 by the FBI and the U.S. Marshals. He had multiple warrants for his arrest, prosecutors said.
