Armed robbery at Publix

TAMPA --Two gunmen with T-shirts wrapped around their faces stole two bags of money from a Publix on Waters Avenue around 9 a.m. Saturday, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

The men followed an Armor truck employee into the store at 7018 Waters Ave. as he was making a delivery of money. A manager brought the Armor employee to a safe, where the men pushed the manager to the side, grabbed the two money bags out of the safe and ran out of the store, sheriff's officials said.

No one was injured, and authorities think the men fled in a gray or silver Lincoln or Mercury car.
