Trio robs armored car in Abington

By Inquirer Staff

Three men, two of them masked and armed with a handgun and shotgun, robbed an armored car this morning in Abington Township without getting out of their getaway van, officials said.

No one was harmed in the 9:40 a.m. stickup in front of the TD Bank at 710 Old York Road.

The manhunt for the three quickly spread to Philadelphia, where police broadcast an alert for the van 20 minutes after the heist.

The FBI said the armored car was making a delivery when a light blue or silver mini van with tinted rear windows pulled up and the rear passenger side door opened to reveal the two masked gunman.

The gunman demanded the money bag and the courier handed it over, officials said. No word on how much loot was taken.

The van, which had Pennsylvania plates, then sped south on Old York Road towards Easton and Highland Roads, an unmasked driver behind the wheel.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Abington Township Police Department at 267-536-1100.

The robbers should be considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said.

Probably some republican suburbanite facing foreclosure, thanks to George Bush.

Funny, isnt this exactly what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid and Sestak want to do? Only they call it "public option" and dont use guns...we'll, may be they do as if we dont obey their laws, the FBI, IRS, and police arrest us.

Another example of the failed economic policies of Barack Obama and Ed Rendell and the Reed/Pelosi team. If the economy were better these misguided souls wouldn't have to resort to this type of behavior.
