PHILADELPHIA (AP)—A man wearing a Brink's armored-car shirt was nabbed inside a company facility Thursday as he tried to make off with a bag that had $640,000 inside, police said.
The man, 33, got through a gated area at the Brink's facility in Southwest Philadelphia shortly after 7 a.m. and grabbed the cash, police said. Guards caught him as he tried to run, police said. He was in custody Thursday afternoon.
The man, who was not identified, was in custody Thursday afternoon. It was not clear whether he is a Brink's employee or just posing as one, a police spokeswoman said.
Ed Cunningham, a spokesman for Richmond, Va.-based The Brink's Co., declined to comment.
No one was injured in the attempted robbery, police said.
