Huron, Ohio — On Wednesday, July 26, 2023, around 2:12 a.m., the Huron Police Department (HPD) received an alarm from the VacationLand Federal Credit Union branch at University Drive East. While scoping out the building, the officers heard noises coming from a roof area, hovering over the drive-thru. Upon inspection, they found a blue recycling bin positioned just under an access door in the middle of the drive-thru lane. Seconds later, a duffle bag drops from the ceiling to the ground before the suspect comes down, landing inside a recycle bin - while police officers wait for him. Officers were able to pull the suspect out of the bin and take him into custody. He was later identified as 27-year-old Tristan Heidl of Huron, Ohio. According to police, the backpack contained several construction tools. Heidl was charged with breaking and entering, possession of criminal tools and safecracking. He is being held in the Erie County jail on a $50,000 bond.
