ORLANDO—Two offices of the $1.8 billion Fairwinds CU were robbed Saturday, and authorities have not ruled out one thief may be responsible for both heists.
The robberies happened within a half hour of each other. Orange County deputies responded to the first robbery call at 10 a.m. at the Fairwinds 3133 N. Alafaya Trail office.
The robber slipped a teller a note, demanding money, deputies said. He then ran out of the credit union with an undisclosed amount of money. No injuries were reported.
The second robbery happened around 10:30 a.m. at the Fairwinds 1351 S. Semoran Blvd. location. The robber again passed a note to the teller and ran out with some cash. No one was hurt.
The thief is still at large. The suspect in the first robbery was wearing a black wig, black T-shirt and black baggy shorts, deputies said. In the second robbery, the suspect had a shaved head and was wearing black shorts.
