ELKHART, Ind. (AP) -- A 16-year-old boy has been charged with the armed robbery of a credit union.
Elkhart police arrested the teen after he was questioned Thursday for the June 17 robbery of the Elcose Federal Credit Union. The credit union was held up again Tuesday, but the teen has only been charged in the first robbery, police said.
Investigators said the teen will likely be charged as an adult.
Detectives continued to search for accomplices, said police spokesman Lt. Bill Faus.
Two people wearing ski masks entered the credit union and ordered everyone to get on the floor before one jumped over the counter, police said.
He pulled a worker off the ground, put a gun to her head and demanded that she take him to the vault, where she was forced to load cash into a bag, police said. The two left in a stolen late-model sedan.
Tuesday’s robbery was similar as two robbers demanded cash and left in a stolen sedan.
