BREAKING NEWS: ARMED ROBBERY IN SALISBURY

What makes this extremely disturbing is the fact that these criminals who have attempted to rob an armored truck on Mt. Hermon Road, Rt. 50 and Beaglin Park Drive knew they'd have to be prepared for a gun fight. Because everyone knows the people in these vehicles carry weapons.

More to come.

Apparently all four robbers escaped across Rt 50. I guess the armored truck people failed their firearms training.

Yea we definitely need to invite 100,000 people to a fuc*** folk festival. I'm sure none of them will be robbed during the events

8:34 you're telling me you'd go against 4 guys with guns? It's easy to speculate when you're behind a computer but I don't imagine they get paid enough to give their life for insured money..

So the presence of a firearm didn't deter a crime?

Anonymous said...

Yeah that's what it was. Meaningful very thought out comment. Good job.

Maybe they skipped the day where the truck companies try to convince you that your life is worth the 15 an hour (if that) they pay you.

Those guys get paid $14 an hour, I doubt they're getting into a gun fight for someone else's money.

This happened around 7:30am- 8:00am this morning from what I am hearing and the Wicomico County Board of Education notify the families of nearby schools that their children's schools were on lockdown 15 minutes ago. And they also failed to mention shots were fired and the thugs were armed and dangerous and ran towards East Salisbury School and WELC.

Wicomico Co Schools 15m

Parents of students attending East Salisbury, WELC, Wicomico Middle, Wicomico High, Choices have received a SchoolMessenger call/email about precautionary safe-in-place status at these schools this morning. Principal will make update call once normal operations resume.

Wicomico Co Schools

Precautionary safe-in-place status for East Salisbury, WELC, Wicomico Middle, Wicomico High, Choices, 101 Long Ave & Facilities due to law enforcement activity in community. Thank you for your patience as we limit entry and exit to schools as precaution.

@ 9:12 We don't know yet if that was the case or the situation but we absolutely know the lack of the presence of a gun increases crime.

9:12 - Only because they were out gunned most likely by illegal firearms. Shut you pie hole fool!!

Jake Day, Jim Ireton, Jack Heath and Muir Boda are idiots for denying that we have a serious crime problem in da Ghetto 'Bury and Jack Heath wants to be the County Executive.

Think about this. We have the Salisbury City Council President who was urged to run by Muir Boda who is the Vice President AND Jack Heath's Campaign Manager and we want those two running the County of Wicomico?? No thank you. Those idiots can keep their Dangerous crime in Salisbury.

As much as I despise Bob Culver he will get my families vote over Jack Heath.

Why do I get the feeling that Muir Boda thinks he is going to get Wayne Stausburgs County Administrator position if Heath accidentally gets elected??? HMMM!

Not only did Muir Boda convince Jack Heath to run for County Executive against Bob Culver, Muir Boda is running Jack Heath's Facebook page and website. Keep in mind folks, that Muir Boda is a Republican who received funding from the Republican Club several times for his election(s) and he has also filed for the Wicomico County Central Committee whose job is to find good candidates to run for local office, not campaign for the enemy in another party. Not only that, the current Central Committee members know what Muir Boda has done and is doing and they have not done anything about it.

Hey Wuss, one guard goes inside with the money and the other stays inside the bulletproof truck. There are also peepholes in the truck designed to put a gun barrel through for them to fight back. If the one guard left the truck then it's his partners job to defend him.

There is a helicopter currently flying over the area of Rt. 50 at 10:30 am and it doesn't look like the State Police helicopter. Something tells me that WBOC finally got wind of the news story.

Update as of 10:30 a.m.: Wicomico High, Wicomico Middle, 101 Long Ave., and Facilities are back in normal operations. The precautionary safe-in-place status continues for East Salisbury Elementary, Wicomico Early Learning Center and Choices Academy.

Yep, WBOC helicopter overhead I just read it on the side and it sounds like the motor is going to blow up any time now. What a piece of crap that is.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm. Four guys with concealing clothing in the same area. May - and most often - means nothing but maintaining situational awareness would or should yield an adjustment or heightened precaution. I have seen these truck drivers not even paying attention to drivers boxing them in fire lanes or looking at people approaching them

I read this blog quite alot. I try not to take any offense to particular comments made by various writers or the people and circumstances to which they are writing.
Apparently there was an attempted Armed Robbery of an Armored Car. Armored being the key word here.Despite what you see on TV or the Movies Armored Trucks are dam near Robbery Proof so long as the doors are closed and locked and the windows up. You may be able to get into one with C4,Symtex,RPG,or a Grenade. Armored Trucks are vulnerable when the doors and windows are open for whatever reason. A street criminal doesn't have the explosive muscle or firepower to get inside. The "popular" AK-47 or "Assault Rifle" so called, isn't going to penetrate the armor. So long as the Driver and his assistant stays barricaded in that truck they are as safe as they can be, nor are they armed well enough, or trained well enough to go head to head in a gunfight, the weapons they carry are more for their own personal protection than engaging in a firefight.About the only defense they have when they exit the truck they have a heightened awareness of their surroundings. Unfortunately after a time some become complacent and forget the "simple" rules" like carrying a bag of money in the same hand and side they carry their gun on, I've seen them do it, a very basic flaw that can get you killed.
These folks have a hell of a lot of responsibility, more than most because they have to carry a gun everyday. They are trained to a degree but not well enough to take on 3 or 4 armed robbers.That said there was one Armored Truck Driver right here in Salisbury some time ago that if memory serves shot an attempted robber of his truck. It wasn't a gunfight to protect the money it was one of survival and he did a dam good job. By the way the money is insured.
There's an old saying: There by the Grace of God Go I, in my career I was face to face on 4 different occasions with a gun, a deranged person, a career criminal, one high on PCP, and one who wished to die via suicide by cop.As the circumstances evolved I never had to shoot either, nor did I get shot.
All that I am saying here is think alittle before some of you may make these really dumb comments especially if your not really sure of what your talking about. The news that comes through this blog is really good, for the most part the comments are very informative, some of them anyway and can really be helpful to keep a pulse on the community but use just a little common sense and information relevant to the conversation.
Just the Ramblings or an Old Retired Cop.

Give it up. Its too late for Salisbury. Look around at the people that you see everyday. Just go online and google "BETTER" places to live. Im in the process of packing now. Just make sure that the "BETTER" place looks as if it will continue to be that way for a long, long time

Every report says they robbed it if that's the case I'd hire a company with men that will use their weapons can't have trained snowflakes protecting valuables.

If the guards didn't pull their weapons maybe they were in on it.

Don't count on it. Jack Heath is more accomplished than Culver and the idiots that vote will choose him over Culver. I'm not voting for Heath, but that is what happens around here. Quit being a know it all when you have no clue what you are talking about.

1:40 PM I bow to your spelling expertise I was unaware there was a walking Dictionary in the Salisbury area or I'd have called you. The inappropriate spelling error by means of using an e for a y in a typographical error would most certainly disqualify me from of 30 years of Law Enforcement I put in, I'll notify my Retirement Board tomorrow to immediately cancel any further Retirement checks.

Exactly 12:18, what does someone expect us to “think about the innocent civilians that MAY have been coming in to use the drive through or ATM”? Maybe we should think about every driver on the road yesterday morning that COULD HAVE BEEN involved in an accident. Such a ridiculous statement. Unless something happens to someone, why would we worry about what MIGHT have happened. SMDH.

Ted did survive. He was shot 7 times with a .22 caliber pistol while he was sitting in his car withdrawing money from a SECU ATM. His wife was sitting right beside him and saw everything.

Jack Heath has accomplishments? You really shouldn’t smoke weed before 5, 110pm. You are saying nonsense. Heath’s resume is abysmal not to mention total fabricated BS. I’m no Culver fan either, but your statements here are not even sensible or logical. You’re living in a dream world. Go take another hit off your pipe!

The sad thing is that they were not caught and probably will not be either.
