Authorities are investigating an attempted robbery at the Hefner VA Medical Center branch of the Premier Federal Credit Union.
About 7:15 a.m., a VA Medical Center employee saw a man push a female credit union employee into the bank immediately after she opened the door, a VA news release said.
When the robber realized he was seen pushing the employee, he fled into building 6 and exited the building through a basement door.
VA Police called the Salisbury Police Department and Rowan County Sheriff’s Department to assist in the investigation. Officers searched the perimeter and collected evidence.
The investigation is continuing.
More information as it becomes available.
