ARUNDEL — Police say a man in a fisherman’s outfit made off with an undetermined amount of money Tuesday after robbing a credit union at gunpoint.
The York County Sheriff’s Department said a man entered the Infinity Credit Union on Alfred Road in Arundel at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, showed a handgun and demanded money.
No one was injured in the incident and investigators say it’s not known if the robber had an accomplice.
The sheriff’s department described the robber as a white male, 6-foot, 150 to 160 pounds, with light-colored eyes, wearing a full, yellow fisherman-type suit with an orange face mask.
“We don’t have anybody identified yet,” said Maj. Bill King of the York County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday.
According to information provided by King, the credit union is conducting an audit at this time, and was unable to determine exactly how much was stolen. The FBI has joined the investigation.
Those who may have noticed anything suspicious around the time of the robbery near the area of the credit union is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 324-1113 and ask for Detective Sgt. Michael Hayes.
King said police are looking into whether the Arundel robbery is connected to a bank robbery that occurred in York yesterday.
Police say a woman waited in line at Kennebunk Savings Bank in York and then robbed it while about a dozen people were in the building. The woman allegedly handed a note to the teller at the bank that afternoon and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police would not say what the note said or whether the woman was armed.
King said a connection between the two robberies is unlikely, given the different genders of the suspects.
“We’re going to have a meeting today to figure that out,” King said this morning.
The woman is described as being in her mid-20s, about 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet, 6 inches tall, and 180 to 200 pounds. Police say she has long brown hair and was wearing glasses, a tan baseball cap, a blue long-sleeved top and matching dark blue pants.
