Employees of the Salvaho Federal Credit Union, 2116 Statesville Blvd., did not discover the theft until they arrived at work on Monday morning.

Salisbury Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation spent much of Monday at the credit union, in the Marketplace shopping center across from the Salisbury Mall, and they are still investigating.

Salisbury Police Capt. Mark Wilhelm said he believes more than one person broke into the credit union.

The thieves cut a hole in the roof and disabled the alarms. They shut down all the computer systems and broke into the safe.

An undetermined amount of money was stolen, but customers can be at ease because the money is federally insured.

Since the computer lines were cut, both branches of the credit union — the second is located next to the Hefner VA Medical Center — were out of service Monday.

Salvaho President Jimmy Kerns said the VA branch should open some time today.

The Statesville Boulevard branch should be operational by Wednesday or Thursday.

Salvaho customers may still use the automatic teller machine. If customers have any questions, Kerns said both branches will be taking calls.
