Credit union burglarized, nothing missing

Gardendale police say American Family Credit Union in Gardendale was burglarized Monday night, although nothing appears to have been stolen.

Gardendale Police Chief Mike Walker said he couldn’t reveal exactly how the burglar or burglars had entered the credit union, but that similar cases had happened in other cities recently.

“Unless they’ve got a sizeable amount of dynamite, thieves aren’t going to be able to get anything from a bank by burglarizing it,” said Gardendale Police Chief Mike Walker.

A similar incident happened in October when burglars knocked a hole in the wall of the America’s First Credit Union building in Gardendale; nothing was stolen in that case, either.
