DES MOINES, Iowa Two masked men held the manager of a Des Moines credit union at gunpoint Monday morning before opening, later forcing her to open the vault before making away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The manager was pulling up for work at the Tradesman Community CU at about 7:30 a.m. when two men dressed in all black, both wielding and handguns and wearing what police called Halloween masks, approached her car and demanded she let them in the branch.
The manager was the first employee to arrive.
Inside, the two men ordered the manager to silence the beeping alarm and said they would kill her if she activated a separate burglary alarm. They ordered her to open the safe, where they put “a large amount” of cash into two bags, according to police. The robbers ordered the woman to lie on the floor while they exited on foot.
Police found an “Incredible Hulk” mask worn by one of the suspects a block south of the credit union.
Surveillance cameras captured video of the suspects.
