That suspect remains at large and made his last appearance at the Northwest Federal Credit Union at 9730 Liberia Ave. Police say the suspect approached a credit union teller on Dec. 28 and demanded cash. The teller complied and the suspect ran out, heading toward Wellington Road. No weapons were displayed and no one was injured.
