Police Seek Suspect In North Austin Credit Union Robbery

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — Police are searching for a suspect they say robbed a North Austin credit union Saturday afternoon.

According to a preliminary police investigation, a man entered an Austin Telco Credit Union branch located at 13831 N. U.S. 183 around 1 p.m. before demanding cash from a teller. The incident occurred just before the branch was about to close for the day, according to police. The suspect didn't display a weapon in the heist, police added.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 20s, standing about six feet, six inches tall of thin build and sporting a thin mustache, police said. He was last seen wearing a dark brown jacket with a maroon undershirt, blue jeans and gray, white-trimmed Vans-type sneakers.
