Police were hunting a trio of would-be robbers in Mississauga last night, after they tried unsuccessfully to hold up an armoured car outside a bank.

It was just after 9:30 p.m. when a pair of armed guards were working outside a TD Bank on Southdown Road, just north of Royal Windsor Drive and immediately adjacent to the entrance for the Clarkson GO Train Station.

They were approached by three men, who sources said were armed with a pellet gun, but the guards weren't having any of it.

“Some type of altercation occurred where the suspects fled on foot,” Peel police Constable Samantha Nulle said.

The guards are thought to have fired back at the trio, who ran away and dropped their pellet gun. Const. Nulle would only say the sequence of events is an “unconfirmed report.” A weapon is believed to have been recovered at the scene.

Police swooped in on the area, closing the Clarkson station and alerting local hospitals, but weren't able to find the would-be robbers.

“We were flooding the area, looking into possibilities as to where they may have fled,” Const. Nulle said. “No money was obtained.”

The GO station was expected to be operating normally this morning. The armed guards, whose names weren't released, weren't injured.

Four heavy tire jacks on wheels and some duct tape for the air holes? You'd have to push it somewhere people wouldn't be able to find it though.

I suppose they would have some sort of radio, so you'd probably also need a fake police car or two and some uniforms so you could blaze in and 'capture' the bad guys, which might lure the armored car guys into a false sense of security, most likely leading them to open the truck.

Transfer the cash to the cop cars and roll away in the chaos.

Oh, and if anybody uses this flimsy plan, you're an idiot... I'm just saying.

It's funny though, I was all over the town today and didn't hear about this until I read it here.
