Police release surveillance video of Elkins Park armored truck robbery, 3 arrested in connection to a similar heist in June

Police have released video surveillance footage of the armored truck robbery in Elkins Park on Tuesday, August 12.

The driver can be seen walking to the H-Mart entrance when two armed men approach her with a handgun and an AR-15-style rifle. The video shows the bag dropping, then one of the suspects running away with the bag and the driver’s pistol. Officials said between $700,000 and $800,000 in cash was stolen.

According to FOX29, at least three other armored truck robberies have taken place in Philadelphia since June.

“It’s definitely dangerous for everybody and we’re investigating the possibility this may be linked to other armored car robberies in the area, as well as some that were in Philadelphia,” said Lt. Andy Snyder of the Cheltenham Township Police Department.

6ABC reported today that three men have been arrested in connection with a June 21 robbery of a Brinks armored car in Philadelphia, in which more than $2 million was stolen.
