BRADENTON, Fla. (WWSB) - Manatee County Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating an armed robbery of an armored vehicle.

The armed robbery occurred at One9 Fuel Stop. The suspects robbed the driver of a Gardaworld armored truck picking up a deposit. The victim told detectives he was held at gunpoint and was made to lie on the ground in the parking lot while masked individuals took his keys and went into the armored truck. The men removed several bags, containing an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the area in what appears to be a 2021 black Chevy Equinox.
