Nail files key to $1.5 million Brink's raid
Boston detectives report that nail files or a penknife opened six doors to the cashier’s cage in a $1.5 million Brink’s vault robbery. Special Officer Arthur Ahern demonstrated how scratches and a fingernail tool could bypass locks, prompting officials to call the security “lax.” Authorities impounded a steel gray canteen truck and traced money wrappers found near Cambridge to the FBI, while New York leads connected gang associates to another Boston heist.
