Sources say the suspects told Yussman he would have to 'empty the vault', but that he was able to call a co-worker who notified police.
[From article] A bank manager said he and his mother were strapped to supposed explosives after two masked suspects broke into their home on Monday morning.
The man said he was then forced to drive the suspects to the Achieve Financial Credit Union in New Britain, Connecticut, which, sources say, the suspects planned to rob.
It wasn't until officers responded to the home invasion call in Bristol and found a woman tied to her bed, with an explosive placed underneath, that they realized the two incidents were connected.
Police said they have not yet determined if the bank manager is a victim or a suspect.
When police arrived at the scene they found the man sitting alone in a car outside the Credit Union, the explosives still tied to his body.
The man said the intruders threatened to kill both him and his mother if he did not take cash out of the credit union, according to the Hartford Courant.
The suspects had disappeared by the time police arrived.
Although he has not yet been identified by police, public records show the home in Bristol belongs to credit union CFO Matthew Yussman, according to WFSB.
Neighbors told say he lives at the house with his mother.
The man was kept in the vehicle while officers 'cleared the area of residents and shut down nearby roadways,' New Britain Police Chief James Wardwell said during a press conference.
