4. George Swanton allegedly robbed a Teacher’s Federal Credit Union in Commack On Oct. 7. According to the accusation, Swanton stole a minivan to go to the bank and demanded cash from the teller, who handed him $10,400. Swanton was disguised as a woman to commit the crime to make identifying him difficult during the police investigation. A court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14. (TBR News Media)
