One Month Later: No Arrests In Pen Air Robbery

December 28, 2012

The search is continuing for a suspect one month after the robbery of the Pen Air Federal Credit Union in Century.

The credit union on North Century Boulevard was robbed about 1 p.m. on November 27 by a man demanding all of the money while claiming to have a gun. As of Thursday, no arrests have been reported in connection with the robbery.

The male suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. He was described as a thin white male with wearing a hooded jacket  and sunglasses. There were no injuries. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office quickly surrounded the bank with multiple units as they searched for the suspect.  K-9 teams were seen searching around the bank, including an area behind the U.S. Post Office next door.

After the robbery, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has released photos from a car wash in West Pensacola showing persons wanted for questioning in connection with the robbery. Photos were also released by the Sheriff’s Office of a shopper at CVS in Century, but deputies later determined the Century man in the photos was not connected with the Pen Air holdup.

Deputies also named a Century man as a person of interest in the robbery. He was later arrested in Santa Rosa County on unrelated outstanding warrants, but has not been charged with the Pen Air robbery.

Surveillance photos and video from inside Pen Air, as well as surveillance photos from a West Pensacola car wash are below.

    I agree totally. With all the money PAFCU makes…you’d think they could afford a higher standard of protection for their emplyees. Behind the teller camera and under the counter…there are many types of cameras they could use.

    Are you serious? Pen Air needs to invest in higher grade cameras and recording systems and place behind the tellers.
