By Walter V. Robinson Globe Correspondent SOMERSET A major probe into a "flawlessly executed" armored car hijacking of about $200,000 in cash was begun yesterday by police and FBI agents. Following a plan that might have been written for television, three bandits took less than 15 minutes Saturday night to commandeer the car from a crowded supermarket parking lot, drive it to a remote place, unload its contents and escape. In the process, they used eplit-second timing, two stolen vehicles, a machine gun, phony license plate, and masks, gloves, and police-type The robbery the fifth largest of its type in eastern Massachusetts history very well planned 'and carefully said Capt. Martin A.

Murphy, chief of State Police detectives. Besides the cash, the thieves took $300,000 in nonnegotiable checks from the Providence-based International Detective Service armored car outside the Fernandes Supermarket on Rte. 6. Two of the bandits entered the armored car and ordered Kishdoian to drive away while pointing a revolver at his head, Murphy said. The third bandit apparently left by other transportation, he said, because the van was abandoned in the lot The car was driven a half-mile to secluded Lees River avenue, police said, then pulled off the road behind a dark green Ford sedan that may have been driven by a fourth person.

The robbers loaded money bags into the Ford and drove away, leaving the guards handcuffed, police said. The getaway car was recovered late Saturday night in a motel parking lot in nearby Seekonk. It had been stolen Jan. 18 in Boston, police said. The vanf left in the parking Murphy said, had been stolen Jan.

The hijacking began at 7:20 p.m. as guard George Palumbo, 31, was wheeling a dolly containing the market's receipts to the car, Murphy said, i The 5-ton vehicle was near the front of the store, he said. Less than 15 feet away a green van was parked with its rear end facing the passenger side of the armored car. As the guard approached the door, three men burst from the back of the van, overpowered Palumbo and threw him into the armored car with driver George Kishdoian, 64. Murphy said the holdup men were dressed in mili-tary-and police-type dark gray and black coats.

One was armed with a machine gun and the others with revolvers. At least one wore a police-type hat I. Jf r-7 a U- Hi i A 11 r. wfi'V' Cljt IGos'ton DailP oU Published Daily by Globe Newspaper Company 135 Morrissey Boston. Mass.
