Another suspect in the case, identified as 57-year-old Omar Resendez-Diaz, was taken into custody Wednesday and also charged with aggravated robbery, records show.
The robbery happened July 18, just before 11 a.m., in the 6900 block of North Loop 1604 East.
Barrios and Resendez-Diaz allegedly entered a Security Service Federal Credit Union, held an employee at gunpoint and stole items from customers, SAPD said.
Following the robbery, authorities said Barrios and Resendez-Diaz fled in a vehicle that was later found abandoned on Nacogdoches Road.
The vehicle had been reported stolen in an aggravated robbery on July 17, and the suspects’ clothing in that case matched the clothing worn by one of the credit union robbery suspects, officials said.
Barrios was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a $500,000 bond, records indicate.
