Elderly Man Thrown Off Bike and Robbed Leaving Credit Union
Tue, October 1, 2019
Money comes and goes but no one expects to be robbed of it as you get it in your hand. That's what happened to a man this morning around 11:00.

Lewis Tillett - who is described in a report as an elderly man - had just exited the St. John's Credit Union on Basra Street and was riding his bicycle when a man approached him, threw him off his bike and stole the $2,000 he had just withdrawn from his credit union account. It was a merciless beatdown in the open street. Although the thief escaped, the assault and robbery was caught on surveillance camera. Many who've seen it point to the slow moving security guards - who hardly ran to help the victim.

Still, police have a suspect based on the video and are looking for a 22 year old man from the Port Loyola area.
