Police are searching for several suspects involved in the sixth armored Brink's truck robbery in as many months. Miami Springs Police responded to the robbery at an Eastern Financial Florida Credit Union, located at 700 S. Royal Poinciana Blvd., at around 9:40 a.m. Thursday. Police say the suspects, one armed with an assault rifle, approached the armored truck's driver, placed the firearm to the driver's back, demanded cash and proceeded to flee in a getaway car with an undisclosed amount of money. A surveillance camera snapped an image of the suspects' car, near the truck, moments before the robbery took place. Miami Springs police and the FBI are handling the case and are now looking into whether or not this latest heist is connected to five other unsolved Brink's truck robberies, including one failed robbery, in South Florida earlier this year. Last month, a Brink's truck was robbed in Miami Shores. In July, two men had a shootout with Miami Police after robbing another truck. In June, a guard used his gun to fight off would-be robbers in Miami Gardens, and, in May, $58,000 was taken from an armored truck outside a Walgreens in Miami Beach. Finally, $1.8 million was stolen from a truck in Hialeah Gardens.
