MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) - Local law enforcement officials have successfully apprehended a key suspect in the robbery of an armored vehicle.

KEY POINTS
•The Arrest: Detectives charged 37-year-old Drew Edward Sisco with armed robbery and felony evading arrest following his capture in Nashville.
•The Crime: Two individuals reportedly assaulted a Loomis employee outside the Ascend Federal Credit Union before fleeing with a significant amount of cash.
•The Pursuit: Officers engaged in a chase along I-24 and I-840 after spotting the suspect vehicle near Old Fort Park before losing sight of it in the Smyrna area.
•The Evidence: Police successfully recovered the black Nissan Armada used in the crime along with a portion of the stolen currency during the ongoing investigation.
According to the Murfreesboro Police Department, Sisco and an accomplice confronted a Loomis employee, using force to secure an undisclosed sum of money before fleeing the scene in a 2018 Nissan Armada.
The subsequent investigation relied heavily on modern technology and multi-agency cooperation. Crime data analysts utilized the Real Time Crime Center to track the vehicle via license plate readers and public safety cameras, even after the suspects attempted to evade detection by swapping license plates.
The pursuit of the SUV saw the suspects weaving through heavy traffic on major thoroughfares including I-24 and I-840. While the driver initially eluded capture near George Franklin Road, collaborative efforts between Murfreesboro detectives and Metro Nashville Police led to Sisco's arrest the following day. Sisco is currently held on a $300,000 bond as the search for the second suspect remains a top priority for local investigators.
DISCLAIMER: All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The arrest or charge of an individual is not an indication of guilt.
