Three men, two of whom were masked and armed with a handgun and shotgun, robbed an armored car yesterday morning in Abington Township without getting out of their getaway van, officials said.
No one was injured in the 9:40 a.m. stickup in front of the TD Bank at 710 Old York Rd. The FBI said the armored car was making a delivery when a light blue or silver minivan with tinted rear windows pulled up and the rear passenger side door opened to reveal the two masked gunmen. One gunman demanded the money bag, and the courier handed it over, officials said; the amount of cash taken was not disclosed. The van, which had Pennsylvania plates, then sped south on Old York Road.
Investigators asked anyone with information to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Abington Township Police Department at 267-536-1100. - Inquirer staff
