It is unknown how much, if anything was taken. Castor Avenue was closed between Solly and Hoffnagle for the investigation. Around the corner, at Loretto and Arthur Streets, police did recover a stolen car. That may be related to the robbery.

No arrests have been made. Police are looking to see if this is related to a slew of armed robberies targeting Brinks Armored Vehicles.
