Dozens Grab Piles of Cash That Fell Out of Armored Truck

Around 50 to 100 people escaped with the fallen money.

Anywhere between 50 to 100 people left with approximately $300,000 after bags of cash fell out of an armored truck in a Chicago suburb. The Oak Park Police Department in Illinois said that the back door of a truck owned by Brinks Home Security Company “opened by unknown means” on Tuesday, causing three bags of cash to fall onto the road. The employee driving the truck said that when they returned to the scene, dozens of people were already running away with the money “on foot” and “in vehicles.” A spokesperson for Village of Oak Park, where the incident took place, said that no arrests have been made. This is not the first time Brinks has lost money from a moving truck. In 2018, the doors of a Brinks armored truck swung open on an interstate in Indianapolis, leaving around $600,000 all over the lanes, state troopers estimated. Indiana State Police would not give the exact amount, but said that a “substantial amount” of money had fallen out.
