Armored Truck Robbed In Broad Daylight Wednesday: Philly Police

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia authorities are looking for three men who robbed an armed truck Wednesday afternoon.

The robbery occurred at about 12:17 p.m. in the Holmesburg Shopping Center, 8445 Frankford Ave.

A Brinks Security Officer just completed a cash pickup at a nearby store and was leaving the area when he was confronted by an armed suspect who told him not to move.

As he reached for his service weapon, two more suspects got out of a silver 2022 Honda Accord parked behind the Brinks vehicle.

The driver of the Honda was armed with a black AR-style rifle and pointed it at the security officer.

During the confrontation, one suspect took the money bag, while another removed the security officer's Brinks-issued handgun from its holster.

They then demanded the security officer open the Brinks truck, but were unable to gain full access due to the vehicle’s security locking system.

The three suspects then drove from the scene in the silver Honda, heading north on Frankford Avenue.

No injuries were reported and an undisclosed amount of money was taken.

Anyone who has information on the robbery should contact Philadelphia Police at 215-686-8477.
