Yesterday morning me with another crew member made 500K GTA$ each in a couple of hours robbing armored trucs. I also ranked up a few times in the process, and it was fairly easy. We did this in an invite only session with just two users logged in.
The spawn pattern: Notice for special vehicle for Simeon appears and the green car icon shows on the minimap. Grab car and take to Simeon at the docks. Less then a minute after car delivery an armored truck icon appears. Take out truck, less than a minute another spawns close to your location. This continues until special car for Simeon spawns again (about an hour), then it repeats.
The Takedown: You can do the standard sticky bomb to the backdoor, take $ and run technique, but I found this expensive, and a pain to try and lose the cops with cars blown up, dying etc. My strategy only uses 2 pistol rounds and 2 shotgun rounds per truck. While in vehicle park in front of armored truck to block path, do not hit the truck (this is important). Get out of car and shoot driver in head with pistol (do not miss, I use free aim). One shot, one kill make it count. Take out co-driver if present. Steal truck and drive to secluded area to lose wanted level. I drove in the tunnels. When you have lost wanted level, blast the back doors of the truck with a sawed-off shotgun. 2 rounds close range it opens up.
Teamwork: A new armored truck will not spawn until the back doors are opened. So if you have no wanted level, as soon you get money a new truck will spawn in about 20 seconds. Working with a team mate you can trade grabbing trucks and keep the spawn cycle continuous. So while I am waiting to lose wanted level the other guy is driving to position to hijack a new truck.
Location: It seems this will work in most of the city, I found a spot that seemed to speedup the robbing considerably. At the beginning of the LS river is the tunnel entrance (the Down the Drain race ditch). If you position across the street from the store just to the West of that tunnel entrance. Is a quick easy drive to take the armored truck into the tunnel. Also of parked near the store, the trucks will spawn in front of you 50% of time, or just a few meters down the road.
Have fun.
