2:06Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS — A man tried to rob a credit union Monday morning and left behind a suspicious device, police say.
Officers received a 911 call around 9:40 a.m. that the man had walked into Connections Credit Union at 2265 E. 25th St. He left a device in the building before running from the credit union, according to Idaho Falls Police Sgt. Jon Johnson.
“The Idaho Falls Bomb Squad was called and is currently deciphering the device to figure out what it is,” Johnson says. “The suspect came from the area of the Grand Teton Mall and went back to the area of the Grand Teton Mall, and we are asking the public for help in locating him.”
The mall and other nearby businesses were locked down while officers conducted a search, but the man was not found. At least four schools in the area went into “soft lockdown mode” but officials lifted the precaution by noon.
Connections Credit Union remains closed as officers investigate.
Images of the man and additional information about the crime are expected to be released Monday afternoon. EastIdahoNews.com will post updates we receive them. Anyone with information is asked to call Idaho Falls Police at (208) 529-1200.
