Chubbuck bank robbed at gunpoint, police searching for suspect

CHUBBUCK — Police are searching for a man who robbed the Advantage Plus Federal Credit Union this afternoon in Chubbuck just after noon Tuesday.

The man, who is described as being tall and slender, possibly Native American, with a face tattoo, pointed a gun at a bank employee, according to Chubbuck Police Chief Nick Sasser. He was wearing all black — pants, beanie and a hooded coat — with a black mask.
