An armed robber remains at large after he held up an armoured car at gun-point in broad daylight outside a Green Hills bank.
The vehicle was making a cash delivery to the Commonwealth Bank at Stockland Green Hills about 2.15pm yesterday when a man, believed to be armed with a pistol, forced his way into the parked vehicle.
He told the driver to take him from the car park to a nearby location where he left the vehicle.
The man took a strong box containing an unknown amount of cash, before he fled the scene on foot.
