Armored Car Robbery Today

FBI Philadelphia November 30, 2009

The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance to identify and locate the subject or subjects responsible for the armed robbery of an armored car in Philadelphia earlier today.

At approximately 11:05 a.m., a Garda armored car was making a delivery to the PNC Bank branch located at 4th and Tabor Streets. The armored car courier had exited the vehicle with the delivery, and was headed towards the entrance of the bank when he was approached by an armed subject. The subject forcibly took the delivery from the Garda courier and fled the area in a brown or bronze older model sedan with a “square” back, driven by a different unidentified male. The car was last seen heading westbound on Tabor Street and then southbound on 5th Street.

The armed subject is described as a black male, with a light complexion, mid 20’s to early 30’s, 5’9” tall, thin build, with a long beard, wearing a hat and a brown leather jacket with a cream-colored or white sheepskin lining. The subject was armed with some type of assault rifle.

There are no pictures or video available at this time.

These subjects are considered armed and dangerous, and anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department.

Garda has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the subject or subjects responsible for this robbery and the recovery of the money.
