The Brink's Job
A fictional retelling of the infamous Boston Brink's Company robbery on January 17th, 1950, of $2.7M, which cost the American taxpayers $29M to apprehend the culprits, with only $58,000 recovered. After a long spate of bad luck, small-time crook Tony Pino and his gang successfully rob one of Brink's armored trucks, taking $30,000. Surprisingly, their coup doesn't make the press. Tony then cases their company headquarters in Boston and discovers that security there is virtually non-existent. So he and his comrades decide to rob the place and make off with nearly 3 million dollars. —Tom Zoerner / edited by Hans Delbruck In 1950, private security company Brinks has a reputation for impregnable security, especially in the allegedly unassailable fortress of their headquarters in the North End of Boston. Small-time crook Tony Pino realizes by chance that this reputation is not based on fact and that the company's security measures are incredibly lax. He and his gang easily rob one of the company's armored tracks. Tony then infiltrates the company's headquarters where he finds out that company staff rarely lock the building's doors and that the alarm system is cheap and antiquated. Tony starts orchestrating the Great Brink's Robbery, the largest robbery in the history of the United States and the gang manages to make off with nearly three million dollars in cash. —Dimos / edited by Hans Delbruck
