PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A pair of armed men stole $1.8 million from an armored truck in the Tacony section of Philadelphia on Tuesday morning.
The robbery happened around 9:45 a.m. in the 7200 block of Torresdale Avenue.
Two men armed with assault rifles robbed the Brinks truck, and sources say the men fled in a blue getaway car.
An image that is part of the police investigation shows one of the masked suspects.
Police found the getaway car a short time later near Front Street and Fairmount Avenue in Northern Liberties.
No one was injured and no one is in custody.
The area is a busy business district. Police are talking with witnesses at the scene.
"We can see from our point of view was arguments and the car just took off on the sidewalk. That's what I saw," one witness said. "And then, of course, when the cops came, that's when they said we need to see the cameras. The store got robbed at gunpoint."
The FBI is now leading this investigation, sources said.
