BALTIMORE – A former employee of Cedar Point FCU in Leonardtown was arrested last week and charged with providing inside information to at least two men who robbed the institution in 2004 of more than $150,000.
Martha Thompson, 25, is accused of telling the robbers about the credit union's layout and operations, including which employees would be there the day of the planned hold-up and how much cash could be taken. She is charged with being an accessory before and after the incident.
Two suspects, include one who allegedly drove the getaway car after the heist, have been charged in the 2004 robbery.
Thompson told detectives that she provided information about credit union operations to the men and they gave her two cash payments to keep quiet, according to court documents.
During the robbery two masked men with handguns entered the credit union and forced employees to lie on the ground. They ordered the manager to open the vault and put several bricks of money in a bag. The men fled with more than $150,000, dropping one brick of $10,000 as they made their getaway.
