Gunman Robs Southpoint Credit Union

POSTED: Tuesday, May 27, 2008

A man pointed a gun at several tellers at a credit union on Belfort Road Tuesday morning before leaving with some cash, according to police.

Detectives were told a man was wearing a black ski mask and gloves walked into the Jax Federal Credit Union just before 11 a.m.

"He enters the bank, basically sticks the gun in the teller's face and proceeds to rob each individual teller station inside," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Lt. Christopher Butler said.

No one was hurt in the robbery.

The robber was seen leaving the scene in a blue full-size Dodge pickup truck with a Louisiana license plate. He was described as a white man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
