FORT WAYNE, Ind. A teller at Pinnacle CU was abducted after she left work yesterday then held hostage in her home, before being forced to help two men rob the credit union later last night.
The teller arrived home at about 5:15 p.m., when a man with a gun forced her inside her house and bound her hands, according to police.
The man told her that she would wait with him inside the home until dark, when they would drive to the credit union so he could get some money. A while later, a relative of the woman arrived at the home, police said. The abductor tied the relative's hands and held them inside the home with the credit union employee.
A second man arrived later at the home to join the first robber.
At about 9 p.m., the two men drove the woman and her relative to the credit union and forced the teller to open the branch, where they proceeded to rifle the vault, according to police.
After stealing an unknown amount of cash, both men fled from the scene.
Police responded to an alarm at the credit union around 9:25 pm and found the teller.
