Brinks Holdup Recalled As Master Commando Style Heist
Recounted sixty years after Brink's robbery, a group of seven masked men staged the $1,219,000 haul at the Brink's North End vault on January 1, 1950. The crime included a stolen van, a lookout, and threats to workers, with later prosecutions and police protection for key figures. Also noted is the White Sox signing of Toronto shortstop Bob McKillop, an 18-year-old Canadian amateur, to a 1961 pact with Daytona Beach affiliate.
