Robbers Take $880,000 From Armored Vehicle

Three masked robbers apparently armed with a grenade launcher held up an armored vehicle and made off with at least $880,000, police said.

Riding in two stolen cars, the robbers ran the armored van off the road in a Duesseldorf suburb Monday night and forced the two guards to hand over three boxes of cash, police said.

A shot was fired during the heist but no one was hurt, a police spokeswoman said.
