Four Armored Truck Robbery Attempts Target Northeast Philadelphia in One Month

Philadelphia police are investigating a series of attempted and successful robberies targeting armored trucks in Northeast Philadelphia, including a recent incident on July 15 where two armed men tried to rob a Brinks truck on Castor Avenue but fled after the employee fired shots. This latest event follows a string of similar attacks over the past month involving suspects using Nissan vehicles and other cars, some of which resulted in stolen cash and weapons. The most recent employee involved was unharmed, and police recovered eight spent shell casings at the scene. Authorities, including the FBI Task Force, are collaborating on the investigation and believe these incidents may be part of a broader pattern. Police are actively seeking surveillance footage and information from the public to identify the suspects, who remain at large. No arrests have been made, and investigations continue as officials check for potential victims and gather evidence.
