Police sought the public’s help Wednesday for information leading to two men who robbed a Brink’s armored car courier at gunpoint in Reseda.
The heist was reported at about 11:40 a.m. Tuesday in the 6700 block of Reseda Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The Brink’s truck was parked outside a Taco Bell restaurant.
According to police, as the armored truck courier walked into the restaurant, “he was immediately attacked by a male suspect who was armed with a rifle.”
“A second suspect then entered the armored car and removed an unspecified amount of United States currency,” according to an LAPD statement. “Both suspects subsequently fled in a waiting vehicle to an unknown location.”
Police said Tuesday both suspects were wearing white “painter’s” jumpsuits and masks, and one of them was armed with an “AR-15-style” rifle, police said. No injuries were reported.
The suspects were described as men between 20 and 30 years old, both between 180 and 200 pounds and between 5-foot-8 and 6-feet tall.
Anyone with information was asked to call the LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division at 213-486-6840, or during off-hours at 213-484-6700. Tipster can also contact Wilshire Detective D. Larkin at 213-922-8273 or 877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247).
