The man entered the credit union last Thursday just before lunch, demanded money, then fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.

The bandit was dubbed the “Grandpa Robber” because he appears to be 65 or older, with gray hair and spectacles in surveillance videos.

The suspect did not show a gun in any of the robberies.
