WASHINGTON, IN (WFIE) -

Several schools were placed in what's called passive lockdown in Pike County after a Credit Union is robbed in neighboring Daviess County.

The robbery happened around 9:00 a.m. at the Crane Federal Credit Union in Washington. 

Pike County School officials say during the search for the robber, schools were on a passive lockdown meaning no one is allowed on campus without a school ID. 

14 News is told school was dismissed at the normal time. So far, there's been no arrest.

A website "Hometown News" reports that no one was hurt, and it lists the suspect as a white male, who at the time of the robbery was wearing a dark hoodie and jeans. 

He did reportedly manage to get away with some cash.
