UPDATED Tuesday, Feb. 6: Salem police have arrested Christopher J. Becker, who's suspected of robbing a Corvallis credit union last month, police say.

A 28-year-old man suspected of robbing a Corvallis credit union left the scene in a cab, police say.

And he actually got away.

Corvallis detectives are asking for help finding Christopher J. Becker, who they suspect passed a note Monday afternoon at the Central Willamette Community Credit Union. Investigators determined he left the credit union in a taxi and got out of the cab shortly after leaving the area, police said.

Police said Becker, a Philomath resident, is suspected of going into the credit union and showing a note demanding money to a teller. He then made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and hopped in a cab, police said.

He didn't show a weapon, police said, and no employees were hurt. He used a taxi to go both to and from the credit union, police said in a news release.

Police said they previously arrested Becker on suspicion he wrestled someone's cash away from them at an ATM in downtown Corvallis. He pleaded not guilty to felony robbery and misdemeanor theft and harassment earlier this month, court records show.

Police said anyone who has information about the robbery can call Detective Pete Dunn at 541-766-6433. They say anyone who sees him should call 911.
