Three Brothers Charged in CU Heist

SPOKANE, Wash. – The FBI raided three separate homes yesterday morning and arrested three brothers and charged them with the November 20 armed hold-up at Safeway FCU. The brothers, identified as Brad and Dustin Rockstrom, both 24, and their Gregory Rockstrom, 21, were captured at two of the homes. The brothers were armed with handguns and yelled at everybody in the credit union to get down on the ground while they rifled through the cash drawers and made their escape. The three were tracked to Brad Rockstrom's home because a witness saw the getaway vehicle, which belongs to their sister. Authorities said it was unusual to arrest more than one family members–let alone three-for the same robbery.
