Greensboro, NC -- Greensboro Police are searching for a man who shot and killed an armored car driver near the Old Navy store at the Friendly Center.

Investigators say a Brinks Security driver was shot several times during a robbery just before 10am Monday morning. The driver was taken to the hospital and where he later died. Another Brinks employee also at the store was not injured in the shooting.
Shoppers who witnessed the shooting say they were in shock. One witness told us they couldn't believe how the suspect just ran up and shot the Brinks worker. "He didn't even give him (the Brinks employee) a chance to give up the money," one witness told us off camera.
Police aren't releasing the victim's name out of a need to contact remaining family members.
Greensboro Police Chief Tim Bellamy says they are looking for one suspect who may have planned the robbery in advance. He says the suspect was in the store posing as a shopper while he waited for the armored car pickup.
Bellamy says the security guard had just picked up money from the Old Navy store when the suspect approached him near the entrance to the store.
Following the shooting, the suspect fled the scene on foot and got into a black vehicle in a nearby Wachovia parking lot. Investigators say that car possibly had a spoiler on the trunk.
Police describe the suspect as a black male, 5'10- 6"0, dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a shoulder length dark red wig, teal colored scrubs, a short sleeved white printed surgical top with a long sleeve white shirt underneath and white tennis shoes.
The area immediately surrounding the store and the nearby RiteAid was blocked following the robbery. Police have released surveillance pictures to help identify the robber. If you have any information that may be helpful, call Crimestoppers at 336-373-1000
Greensboro has gotten so PC in recent years, and purged the city police department over alledged racial discrimination, that the city has since been overrun by rampant crime and thuggery. I bet Greensboro PD would arrest a Brinks worker with a gun before a gun-toting thug on a city street corner dealing drugs, just due to political correctitude.
It’s a change in the corporate mindset.
I recall an article in Popular Science or Mechanics in the late 50’s about Brink’s. Standing bounty policy was $5000 cash for hit on perp, $10,000 cash for DRT perp.
One interesting Brink’s story. Quick witted Brink’s guard confronted by gunman’s demand to hand over the bags did so. Gave the goblin both bags, goblin used both hands to grab them, guard then earned $10,000 cash bonus in the next second.
With the msm condoning and excusing the violent activities of the Weather Underground it is no surprise that we are seeing a resurgence in that type of violence.
Thank you for the explanation. I asked somebody else (in law enforcement) about this and apparently wearing scrubs to commit a crime isn’t that uncommon. Very creepy.
I think we're going to see a huge surge in crime once The One is in office. His winning despite the criminal, terrorist and racist elements with whom he surrounded himself will be viewed as a validation of all of them and of their crimes. Things are going to get decidedly unpleasant in the future.
