A man who robbed a credit union appeared not to notice he was being followed by a law enforcement helicopter as he led police to his house officials said Monday.

Chula Vista police said a tracking device hidden in money from a bank robbery led them to the suspect at an Eastlake home.

A man handed a note to a teller at the Navy Federal Credit Union on Saturn Boulevard warning the teller that he had an explosive device.

After the robbery, the suspect evaded police and ran into a home on Corte Calypso.

When the man came out of the home and walked back to a silver SUV parked outside the home, he was taken into custody.

The money was recovered from the SUV officials said.

A woman from inside the home was briefly detained officials said.
