500G truck heist

A masked gunman swiped a cool half-million dollars in cash from an armored truck during a broad-daylight heist in Brooklyn yesterday, police said.

The man hopped into the fortified truck parked at Rockaway Parkway and Seaview Avenue in Canarsie shortly after 10:30 a.m., when a guard inside mistook him for his partner, who had just made a drop-off at a check-cashing store.

The thief pointed his gun at the guard's head and ordered him to drive off.

The gunman ordered the driver to stop a few minutes later when they reached Linden Boulevard. There, he snatched a white duffel bag filled with $500,000 in cash and fled, cops said.

There were no injuries.

Cops were scouring surveillance-camera footage, and Investigators were also canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses, whiledetectives were doing background checks on current and former employees of Rapid Armored Corp., which owns the truck.

A dispatcher at Rapid Armored declined to discuss the incident.

"That's under investigation," he said.

Rapid Armored Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Pay-O-MaticCorp., is licensed as an armored car carrier by the United States Department of Transportation and the New York State Department of State.

After thieves swiped $350,000 from an armored truck in Manhattan in 2008, it took investigators just a few hours to nail the culprit, a company employee.

Suspect Robert Blackmon had called in sick that day, and robbed a Dunbar Armored co-worker as she was dropping off cash at a branch of M & T Bank, at 397 First Avenue.

Four years later, investigators arrested his alleged accomplice -- the guard who was robbed.

By the time the authorities closed in on the suspects, the money had all been spent.
