Philadelphia Police are investigating the robbery of a Wal-Mart store 
in Franklin Mills, where a man dressed as a armored car security guard 
fooled employees and walked out with a big payoff. 

According to Philadelphia Police Sgt. Roland Lee, it happened around 
noon Sunday when a man, dressed as an armored car guard, entered the 
store: 

"He went to the Wal-Mart store, posed as the person, and he took over 
a hundred thousand dollars in cash and checks in a deposit that was 
supposed to be deposited to an armored car carrier." 

Employees thought it was a regular pick-up until the real armored car 
guard showed up about a half-hour later. 

The suspect is described as a black man in his mid-20s, with a thin 
build, a goatee, and dark braided hair.
