Armed robbers in latest Philadelphia-area Brinks truck heist took $700,000 or more, police say
Authorities are investigating whether the Tuesday robbery of a Brinks truck outside Philadelphia may be part of a pattern. Cheltenham Township police say two armed males stole between $700,000 and $800,000 during the heist outside an H Mart in Elkins Park, just outside city limits. They say one was armed with an AR-15-style pistol and the other with a handgun. Both fled and later abandoned their vehicle. No shots were fired, and no one was hurt. Township police Lt. Andrew Snyder says police and the FBI are investigating four other armored car robberies in the Philadelphia area since June.
