On Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 10:06 a.m., Tyler Police responded to a Financial Alarm at the Altra Federal Credit Union located at 5523 Troup Hwy across from Trane.
Bank employees told investigators that the suspect approached the counter and gave the teller a note and verbally communicated to the teller that this was a robbery. The suspect displayed a weapon that was tucked in the waistband.

The suspect is described as an approximate 30-year-old white male, medium build, wearing a black Fedora hat, glasses, yellow shirt, black sports coat, faded jeans and brown shoes.

The teller gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money during the robbery.  The suspect left the building and ran to the rear of the credit union disappearing into a nearby neighborhood.
