FBI Releases Photos of Suspects in Attempted Armored-Truck Robbery Outside Philly Wawa

Authorities are seeking tips because the masked trio remains at large, considered armed and dangerous.

Overview

  • The attempted robbery occurred just before 8 a.m. on Oct. 17 at the Wawa at 7715 Frankford Avenue in Holmesburg.
  • Investigators say two masked men approached a Loomis truck, one carrying a rifle, as the driver, who was armed, fired five rounds.
  • The gunfire sent the suspects into an alley where they entered a waiting stolen red Honda Accord after leaving a stolen Acura RDX at the scene.
  • The two suspects and a getaway driver later abandoned the Honda and fled the area on foot, and investigators have not said where the vehicle was left.
  • FBI Philadelphia released surveillance images on Oct. 21 and asked anyone with information to contact their local FBI office or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov; no injuries or arrests have been reported.
