FBI, Troy Police Need Public's Help

From the Troy Police Department:

Troy Police Investigators are working jointly with the FBI’s Oakland County Gang and Violent Crimes Task Force in the investigation of the October 1, 2014, armed robbery of an armored van in front of Troy Athens High School. The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. As previously reported in October 2014:

On October 1, 2014, just prior to 9:30AM, a black male, riding a bicycle, and wearing a hooded sweatshirt and ski mask, approached the armored van in front of Troy Athens High School on John R. Road in Troy, MI. The suspect pointed a gun at the driver, and the driver exited the vehicle. The suspect then stole the vehicle and drove away. The armored van was recovered a short time later by the Troy Police Department behind the Troy International Church of God on East Wattles Road near North Rochester Road.

Investigators are seeking the assistance of anyone who may have observed suspicious activity in the area of Troy Athens High School or along Wattles and John R. Roads shortly before or after the incident, which occurred on October 1, 2014, at 9:27AM. Investigators are also looking for anyone who may have information on the identity of the suspect. No further information regarding the progress of the investigation is available at this time.

Anyone with information may contact the FBI Detroit Field Office 24-hours-a-day at (313) 965-2323, or the Troy Police Anonymous tip line at (248) 524-0777.
