SEVEN MONTHS AFTER allegedly robbing $200 million from a Guardsman Armoured truck, the two employees of the company, Harvey Green and Copeland Samuels, are still on the run the police say.
The money was stolen from a Guardsman armoured vehicle on the Haddon Pen main road near Walkerswood in St. Ann last March, reportedly by two security guards with the assistance of at least two accomplices.
When contacted on Tuesday, the police said the men were still on the run seven months after the robbery. They said they were still hunting for the men and were confident of a breakthrough soon.
ORDERED TO STOP
Reports are that both Green and Samuels travelled with two other colleagues from Kingston to pick up a quantity of cash at the Ocho Rios office of Guardsman Ltd. Upon reaching a section of the Haddon Pen main road, one of the guards, who was travelling in the front of the vehicle, reportedly pulled his gun and pointed it in the face of the driver and ordered him to stop.
The other guard, who was travelling in the back of the vehicle, allegedly held up and disarmed the crewmaster of his firearm.
They were reportedly joined by two other men in a car which pulled up beside the armoured truck. It is reported that the men from the car, along with the two guards, then packed money into the car and left the area with the other guard still handcuffed to the steering wheel of the armoured vehicle.
The police later found $30 million in the armoured vehicle.
