Reward triples in Salisbury armored truck robbery case
Rose VelazquezThe potential reward for information leading to the arrest of the four suspects who robbed an armored truck driver Monday in Salisbury has more than tripled.
In addition to the $10,000 being offered by the FBI, Loomis, the armored truck company, is also offering up to $20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible and the return of the stolen money, and Crime Solvers has committed up to $2,000.
The $32,000 reward is intended to get the community talking and hopefully turn up helpful tips, according to an FBI Baltimore Division statement.
Officers were called to the SECU on Mount Herman Road for a report of a robbery at about 7:15 a.m. Monday.

Police said four people armed with handguns approached a Loomis armored truck driver while he was filling an ATM with cash.
They demanded money while binding the driver's hands, according to police, and then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money and the driver's company-issued handgun.
The first suspect is described as a black male wearing a black hoodie and gray and black pants. Two additional suspects are described as black males wearing all dark clothing and dark masks.
A description of the fourth suspect was not available.
Police released a still image Monday that was captured from surveillance video of one of the suspects who was wearing a dark hoodie.
As detectives continued investigating leads, they released two additional photos of the man via Twitter Thursday encouraging anyone who recognizes him to call in tips.
The FBI Baltimore Division as well as special agents from the Salisbury office have committed federal resources to supporting the Salisbury Police Department in its ongoing investigation of the robbery.
Anyone with information relevant to the investigation should call Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776 or the FBI at 410-265-8080.
