Police say the have no major leads at this time
IRON RIVER -- UDPATE 5:48 EST
The man suspected of robbing the Superior Iron Range Community Federal Credit Union in Iron River is still at large.
Very little information has come out about the robbery as police continue to follow-up on leads.
One piece of new information we did receive is everyone at the credit union followed the proper protocol during the robbery.
Things appeared to be mostly back to normal in Iron River Wednesday. The credit union opened its drive-thru, but the lobby remained closed.
Police are looking for the man who robbed the credit union Tuesday. He is described as five feet nine inches tall with a medium build.
Police say no one outside of the credit union got a good look at the suspect.
"School was in session, it was mid-morning, and there wasn't a lot of business activity,” said Michigan State Police Lieutenant Chris Sholander. “So there weren't many people close by where this event occurred that could have been able to identify him."
Sholander said police are continuing to investigate leads in the area.
Iron County residents are still shocked that a bank robbery happened in their backyard.
"I don't see that kind of crookedness or even vandalism or too much of that kind of stuff going on. So yeah, I'm surprised," said Crystal Falls resident and frequent Iron River visitor Randy Dion.
"Well, I guess the chance is always there that it would happen, but I guess I thought people were smarter here," said Iron River resident Ralph Dabeck.
Police say they are continuing to follow leads and are working diligently to catch their suspect.
"I'm optimistic that sooner or later this will be resolved, but I don't know if it will be in the next 24 hours," Sholander said.
Upper Michigan’s Source contacted the credit union where the robbery took place, but they declined to comment on the incident.
