The unidentified male suspect, disguised in a Loomis armored transport uniform, reportedly fooled the van’s driver, who mistook the thief for a coworker, according to the Detroit Free Press.
“At this time, it looks like the suspect just walked away, He didn’t have a getaway vehicle” Assistant Police Chief Steve Dolunt.
“The good thing is that no one was hurt. But we will continue our investigation to ascertain who’s responsible and what happened”.
The theft took place along Beaubien near Monroe, not far from the Greektown Casino.
