Police are looking for two armed men they say took off from the scene. They say two men in ski masks armed with guns approached two Brinks employees, and the suspects removed a gun from a guard. Police say the suspects then stole $540,000 from the back of an armored Brinks truck before taking off down Linden Boulevard in a black sedan.
No shots were fired, and no one suffered any major injuries.
Sources say the Brinks truck drivers were about to make a drop-off at the Bank of America before the robbery.
Chopper 2 was over the scene, where multiple officers could be seen wearing vests.
So far, no arrests have been made.
