Navy credit union bans hats, hoods, sunglasses

NAPLES, Italy — An increase in robberies — and maybe the bad U.S. economy — has led Navy Federal Credit Union to adopt a dress code for its customers.

The policy, which went into effect in December, prohibits customers from wearing sunglasses, hoods and hats in any credit union branch, including those overseas.

The rule was a response to a spike in attempted and actual robberies at stateside credit union branches over the past two years, but credit union officials wouldn’t say how many robberies or attempted robberies have taken place. They would only described the increase as significant.

The FBI currently lists a wanted notice on a suspect allegedly involved in several Navy credit union robberies over the past two years.

"The suspect specifically targeted Navy Federal Credit Unions," the notice reads, describing one incident in which the robber used a semiautomatic weapon.
