2 Men Armed with Rifles Hold up Brinks Truck in Northeast Philadelphia, Get Away with Cash, Police Say
Police said two armed men fled with up to $1.8 million after robbing the armored truck, and no injuries were reported.
- On Tuesday, two armed men robbed a Brinks truck in the 7200 block of Torresdale Avenue in the Tacony section of Northeast Philadelphia, fleeing with up to $1.8 million, police sources said.
- This incident follows a string of similar heists in the Philadelphia area last year, including a daytime theft of about $2 million in Port Richmond and a separate $700,000 robbery in Cheltenham Township.
- Investigators located an Acura SUV believed to be the getaway vehicle under I-95 near Front Street and Fairmount Avenue in Northern Liberties later Tuesday, and police interviewed witnesses at the scene.
- The FBI is leading the investigation with no suspects in custody as of midday Tuesday; a Brinks spokesperson declined to comment "in the interest of the safety of our employees and others."
- Northeast Detectives urge anyone with information to submit anonymous tips by calling or texting the Philadelphia police tip line at 215-686-TIPS as the investigation continues.
