The Bixby Police Department responded to the Western Sun Credit Union on 05/16/2007 on a report of a burglary. Upon arrival Bixby Police Department discovered that the rear of the building had been damaged allowing the suspects to gain entry into the building. Further investigation revealed that the phone lines and the alarm systems had been cut. The safe inside the establishment was removed and the suspects left with an undisclosed amount of money.
