Police arrested three suspects Friday following an armored car robbery that turned into a chase through Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties and prompted lockdowns at multiple area schools, according to NBC 10.

Police officers were getting coffee near City Avenue when they spotted at least three men appearing to break into an armored car, NBC 10 reported. The suspects were armed and fled the scene when spotted by police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents searching for suspects of previous armored car robberies, police said.

The suspects then led Philadelphia Police and Lower Merion Police on a chase through Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties. Additionally, officers on foot searched for the suspects in Lower Merion.
