PORTLAND — The man who was identified as the suspect in a credit union robbery that took place Monday morning was apprehended this afternoon by Portland police.

Lt. Gary Rogers said 40-year-old Sean Dolstad of Portland was arrested around 3:30 p.m. while he was talking on a pay phone at the Mellen Street Market.

Dolstad, who was identified by a video surveillance camera at the credit union, was arrested without incident. Rogers credited a citizen with tipping off police to Dolstad’s whereabouts. Dolstad has been charged with robbery, burglary, and violation of probation.

The robbery occurred when Dolstad allegedly entered the TruChoice Federal Credit Union at 272 Park Ave. Monday morning, handed the teller a note, and fled with an undetermined amount of cash.

Dolstad is also charged with a burglary that took place at the YMCA at 70 Forest Ave. on Monday. He is accused of stealing an office safe, Rogers said.
