Two armed robbers escape with $1.8million in cash in U.S.

On Tuesday morning, April 21, two men with assault rifles robbed a Brinks truck and fled with $1.8 million in cash, according to Philadelphia police.

Around 9:45 a.m., police were called to the 7200 block of Torresdale Avenue due to an ongoing robbery, according to CBS News.

A car pulled up in a parking lot, according to police sources, and two armed, masked suspects leaped out to rob a Brinks truck that was stopping at a check-cashing establishment.

Two men wearing masks and dressed in black are seen fleeing from a blue car in surveillance images captured by a nearby camera. It looks like the person in front is brandishing an assault rifle.

A police spokesperson said the suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency. A police source said the amount of money taken could be up to $1.8 million.

No injuries were reported in the robbery.

Later on, police located an Acura that investigators believe was used in the robbery, according to police sources. The vehicle was found under I-95 in the area of Front Street and Fairmount Avenue.

Police are still searching for the suspects.
