One woman walked in and ended up with gun pointed at her head. Altamese Mack says she'll never forget her near-death experience inside McCoy Federal Credit Union in Ocoee.
"When you had that gun pointed in your face, what were you thinking?" WFTV reported Q. McCray asked victim Altamese Mack.
"I was thinking, ‘Is this going to be it?'" Mack said.
Mack told WFTV she is a regular customer at the credit union. She parked her car and was about to walk inside to make a deposit when she was greeted by a masked man with a gun.
"The man pulled the door open. He had a gun in his hand and said, ‘Come on in and sit down,'" Mack said.
The men jumped the counter and roughed up a worker, who was cut during the ordeal. Mack noticed a crook manning each entrance.
"I saw a couple of men jumping over a counter. The man at the door said, ‘Come on y'all, let's go,'" Mack said.
Ocoee police got the call around 9:20am Monday and rushed over. About two hours later, Ocoee police and Orange County sheriff's deputies took a group of men into custody near the corner of Colonial Drive and Dorscher Road (see map) , about four miles away from the original crime scene.
Ocoee police say three of the men who were questioned Monday have been charged for the robbery.
As for Mack, she says she has a new appreciation for life.
"This could've been it?" McCray said.
"It could have, but the Lord was just with me," she said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
