Thief uses sledgehammer to break in, steals 100K in jewelry

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (AP) — Local police and federal agents are seeking the public's help in finding two men who assaulted and robbed an armored car guard at a mall in suburban Philadelphia earlier this month. The FBI and Plymouth Township police jointly released surveillance video on Wednesday that shows the suspects just prior to the Dec. 19 robbery at the Plymouth Meeting Mall. The men attacked a Loomis guard delivering cash to the Montgomery County mall in a service corridor around 8 a.m. before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of the money. Authorities say the suspects left the mall in a dark-colored Chevy Tahoe with a model date between 1992 and 2000. The injured guard was taken to an area hospital for treatment but has since been released.
