Credit Union to Ramp Up Security Following Robbery

TYLER – A Tyler financial institution plans to ramp up security following a Wednesday robbery. An official at Telco Plus Credit Union at 620 West Front Street tells KETK the branch will be installing additional security cameras. She also says officials are looking at keeping the location better staffed during certain hours of the day.

A woman entered the business shortly after 5:15 Wednesday afternoon, armed with a large knife. She placed a bag on the counter and instructed the teller to give her money. She then left, and was seen fleeing the scene in a black car, possibly a Chevrolet Malibu. No injuries were reported. She is described as a light skinned black female, 5’05” tall with a medium build. She was wearing a black hooded mask, black shirt and black pants.
