The teenager drove up to the institutions’ drive-through windows, where he allegedly passed a note to the teller asking for money and indicating he had a weapon, police said.
Shortly after the second robbery, Orem police found the car abandoned in a residential neighborhood about six blocks from the credit union. Police said the teen was spotted unarmed, walking a short distance from the car.
Officers said they recovered a BB gun – allegedly belonging to the suspect – at another undisclosed location.
The teen is scheduled to appear in juvenile court later this month.
