NEW YORK — A trio of thieves stole $300,000 from an armored truck in a bold Brooklyn heist, grabbing a sack of cash while they distracted a Brink’s guard by asking for directions, police said Sunday.
The trio struck when an armored truck pulled up to a Chase bank on Eighth Avenue and 55th Street in Sunset Park about 1 p.m. Friday, authorities said.
The driver stayed in the truck while his co-worker, whose job it is to deliver and pick up cash, placed the bag of money on the bumper, police said.
