RESEDA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Brink's armored truck was robbed in broad daylight Tuesday afternoon in Reseda, authorities said, and two suspects were being sought after they abandoned a stolen getaway car.

The armed robbery was reported shortly before 12 p.m. in the 6700 block of Reseda Boulevard, just south of Vanowen Street, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said.

The suspects were described as two men wearing painters' jumpsuits, the LAPD said. An undisclosed amount of money was stolen, along with a Brink's guard's gun.

No injuries were reported.

Video from AIR7 HD showed the armored truck parked outside a Taco Bell restaurant.

Sometime after the robbers fled the scene, the stolen sedan that had been used in the heist was found abandoned less than half a mile away, near the intersection of Etiwanda Avenue and Kittridge Street. The suspects remained at large.
