Police arrest 80-year-old man for credit union robbery

Detectives arrested an 80-year-old man Saturday for the armed robbery of a branch of the $154 million Pyramid Federal Credit Union in Tucson, Ariz.

What’s more, authorities are investigating whether the accused armed robber was allegedly involved in a multimillion-dollar jewel theft and bank robbery in Arizona in 1981. He  also was reportedly convicted of embezzlement in 1966 when he worked for a Chicago bank as a teller, according to an Associated Press article.

Tucson Police Department detectives said Robert Francis Krebs was armed with a weapon and demanded money from a teller at the credit union’s branch on North Oracle Road on Friday at about 4 p.m. After the teller gave Krebs an undisclosed amount of cash, he ran from the credit union.
