The FBI released surveillance video of the jackpot job by two robbers in South Philadelphia Friday morning.

The bad guys made off with approximately $700,000 dollars after holding up an armored car driver in South Philadelphia, according to police. 

People on the scene told the cops that one guy with a gun went into Whitman Check Cashing on S. Randolph Street this morning, a little after 9.  He held up the driver inside the store.

Two guys -- the gunman and a second suspect -- made their getaway on foot.  They fled with quite a stash of cash. About $700,000.
