Armored Car Robbery in Jenkintown

FBI Philadelphia Division
November 5, 2009

The Philadelphia Division of the FBI and the Abington Township Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance to identify and locate the subjects responsible for the armed robbery of an armored car earlier today in front of a bank branch located at 710 Old York Road in Jenkintown (Abington Township).

At approximately 9:40 a.m., the armored car was making a delivery to the bank at that address and the courier was removing the delivery from the vehicle. A light blue or silver mini-van pulled up to the armored car and the rear passenger-side door opened to reveal two unidentified subjects wearing masks. One of the subjects was armed with a shotgun and the other was armed with a handgun. The subjects pointed the weapons at the courier and demanded the delivery. After providing the delivery bag to the subjects in the van, the van sped off headed southbound on Old York Road towards Easton and Highland Roads. The van, which has an unknown Pennsylvania license plate, had dark tinted rear windows and the rear seats removed. A third subject, described only as a black male who was not wearing a mask, was driving the van.

There were no injuries, and no shots were fired in the robbery. These subjects are considered armed and dangerous, and anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Abington Township Police Department at 267-536-1100. There may be a reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of these subjects, and tipsters may remain anonymous.
