One of North America’s largest security companies, Brinks, has always been a target for robbers. One of the most spectacular attempts was made on 17th January 1950 when a gang broke into the company’s Boston headquarters and escaped with $2,775,395. It was more than 5 years before one of them turned state’s evidence and caused the arrest of his companions.
