ARMAGUARD is offering $300,000 in rewards to solve three robberies that netted a total of $6 million.

The cash-in-transit company has offered $100,000 for information that will lead to a successful conviction in each of the thefts.

The unsolved crimes include the $4 million “road gang robbery” in Richmond in 1994, a $2 million theft from Sunshine Plaza in 2006 and $100,000 stolen from a baggage trolley at Perth airport in 2005.

Armaguard has also released images from bank CCTV footage of two people they wish to speak to in relation to the 1994 robbery.

Linfox-Armaguard executive chairman Peter Fox said that he hoped the rewards would lead to arrests.

“I know there are people out there who have information that could assist,” he said.

“I am offering a reward of $100,000 for information leading to a successful prosecution of the persons who took part in these thefts.”

There were at least four people involved in the Richmond robbery, where the thieves posed as roadworkers to stop an Armaguard truck near Punt Rd on June 22, 1994.

The crew, who had a stop sign and witches’ hats, stopped the Armaguard truck on the on-ramp of the Monash Freeway.

They forced their way into the truck, threatened three security staff with a revolver and handcuffed them.

The truck was dumped in a nearby street.

A Mazda Econovan and a cream coloured Holden Camira were identified as potential getaway cars.

The robbers used a key to get into the van.

Two months later three women and a man were seen swapping $40,000 worth of traceable bank notes from the robbery.

The rest of the money was untraceable.

Thieves stole $2 million from an Armaguard van parked outside a Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse in Sunshine Plaza in 2006.

They hit the van at 9am when it was unattended by guards.

On 12 October 2004 Armaguard security guards noticed that the bag they were collecting from Perth Airport was $100,000 lighter.

In March 2014 security company Armaguard offered a $100,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction for the theft.

Police say the cash had been flown in from Albany and was due to be picked up at 9.35pm on October 12, 2004.

When the Linfox-Armaguard personnel arrived, they found that one of the shipment bags had been forced open and $100,000 stolen.

The money was never found.

Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Webster encouraged witnesses to come forward.

“Private rewards are a matter for the company involved and they may not always contact police in relation to them. A reward of this level is not common,” she said.

Anyone with information about the thefts can call Armaguard’s Integrity Hotline on 1300 930 144 or 1800 333 000.
