Buckeye Credit Union Nearly Robbed In Shaker Heights

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH - The Buckeye State Credit Union on Chagrin Boulevard was part of an attempted robbery Monday at about 10:05 a.m.

The Cleveland FBI says three male suspects entered the bank and each was armed with a handgun. One suspect jumped the teller counter, pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money. The employee tried to dispense money from a machine, but no more money would dispense. A second suspect then pulled another employee out of their office, dragged them to the teller counter at gunpoint, and forced them to try and get money out of the machine. The second attempt was unsuccessful.

The third suspect remained on the customer side of the counter and watched the customers in the bank.

The trio of would-be robbers were unable to get away with any currency. No injuries were reported from the incident.

The Cleveland FBI says the suspects were all black males, dressed in hooded sweatshirts. The clothes were pulled tightly over their face. The three men were all approximately 5'6, with a thin build, and were possibly in their late teens or early 20s.

Tips can be provided to the Shaker Heights Police Department, the Cleveland Division of the FBI or Crimestoppers. Tips can remain anonymous. Reward money is available for information leading to the successful identification and prosecution of the individuals responsible.
