CHELTENHAM, Pa. — Surveillance video shows the moment an armored truck driver was targeted by armed thieves on Tuesday in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania.

Police responded to the scene outside an H Mart around 10:30 a.m.

In this incident, the driver was not hurt, but the suspects got away with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The delivery driver had just made a delivery at the H Mart when she was approached by two men. One was allegedly armed with an AK-style rifle and the other had a handgun, the driver told police.

“They ordered her to turn over her weapon and then took between $700,000 and $800,000 in cash from the armored car,” said Lt. Andy Snyder, with the Cheltenham Police Department.

The suspects then took off in a black Acura TLX, heading west into Philadelphia, Snyder said.

The vehicle was subsequently located a short time later, unoccupied in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, officials said.

Police said the suspects are believed to be tied to other previous robberies.

“Now this is four or five incidents we’ve had, you know, and an AK-style rifle is definitely not something that you’d want to mess with. So, the stakes are very high for everybody,” Snyder said.

No shots were fired, and no one was injured.
