Seeking Public Assistance in Locating Armored Car Robber

The Philadelphia Division of the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public's assistance in locating Jeffrey Prout, 20 years old, 6'0" tall, 225 pounds, of North Philadelphia. A Federal arrest warrant has been issued for Prout in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in connection with the armed robbery of a Dunbar armored car on Friday, November 14, 2008 at approximately 9:00 a.m. The armored car was making a delivery at a check cashing facility at 2700 South Randolph Street, Philadelphia at the time of the robbery.

On Saturday, November 15, 2008, at approximately 12:15 a.m., Harry Jackson, 24 years old, of North Philadelphia, was arrested by the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department for his involvement in the robbery. Jackson remained outside the check cashing facility while Prout, armed with a handgun, entered with the Dunbar guard. Prout forced the guard to the ground and took the delivery bag containing the cash. Jackson has also been charged in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for his role in the robbery.

Dunbar, in conjunction with Lloyd's of London insurance, has offered a reward in the amount of $40,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators and the recovery of the stolen funds.

A photograph of Prout is below. Anyone with information is asked to contact either the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department. Information can be provided anonymously. Prout should be considered armed and dangerous.
