(TNS) — Four people pinched $400K from a gambling machine collection van in an armed heist in broad daylight Monday, according to state police.
State police are looking for the four suspects who executed the heist by knocking out the van’s escort guard and removing seven money cases containing cash.
The suspects’ vehicle could have gone into Cumberland or Adams counties, or into Maryland, according to state police. It’s unclear why police don’t have a better idea of where the suspects fled.
State police provided this information:
On Monday at around noon, an unmarked “sprinter” van traveled to to Greencastle, Waynesboro and Chambersburg to collect cash boxes from video gambling machines for a company named “Pa Amusements.”
At around 12:30 p.m., the van stopped at Southgate Mall in Chambersburg to pick up a cash box inside Spot Laundromat.
One of the robbers exited their van, approached the collection van’s security guard, striking him in the head and taking his firearm.
Another one of the robbers entered the van and removed seven money cases containing money bins, before getting back in their own van and fleeing across numerous Franklin County roads where police later found eight cash boxes and four more bins abandoned.
