Seeking Information on Two Men Who Robbed a Knox County Teachers Federal Credit Union

The Knoxville Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Chief Sterling Owen IV of the Knoxville Police Department (KPD) are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two suspects who robbed a Knoxville credit union today.

At approximately 9:20 a.m., two suspects entered the Knox County Teachers Federal Credit Union located at 301 S. Gallaher View Road in Knoxville and verbally demanded money. Witnesses described the suspects as black males, in their late teens to early 20s, approximately 6’ tall, with thin athletic builds. Suspect #1 was wearing a black, crew neck t-shirt, black athletic shorts, black skull cap, white Nike tennis shoes with an orange or red swoosh, and a piece of black fabric partially covering his face. Suspect #2 was wearing a black, long-sleeve t-shirt or hoodie, white athletic shorts, a black ball cap, and a white bandana covering the lower part of his face. He was also carrying a small, red, drawstring-type bag. After obtaining an undetermined amount of money, the suspects left the scene on foot toward Gallaher View Road.

A reward is being offered for any information which leads to the arrest of these individuals. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 865-544-0751 or the KPD at 865-215-7212. This matter is being investigated jointly by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force (which consists of personnel from the FBI, KPD, and KCSO), the KPD Major Crimes Unit.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
