Brazen armed pair robs cash, guard’s gun from Brinks truck in broad-daylight NYC heist: cops

A brazen gun-toting pair robbed a load of cash from an armored Brinks truck outside a Queens bank in broad daylight Monday – and also ripped off the guard’s firearm, cops said. 

The two suspects stormed up to the Brinks driver and guard stationed outside a Bank of America at Linden Boulevard and 205th Street in Cambria Heights around 8:50 a.m., according to police.

They managed to swoop up an undetermined amount of money from the back of the truck – and also snatched a gun from the 62-year-old male guard, authorities said.
