MONTREAL — An armoured vehicle was robbed in Montreal on Friday after being hit with the front end of an backhoe tractor on a busy street.

Police say a backhoe deliberately crashed into a parked armoured vehicle around 2 p.m. behind a commercial centre in the west end of the city.

Police say the employees of the armoured truck were inside a store at the time of the crash and no one was reported injured.

At least one person took the cargo inside the truck and fled.
