Details of $463K Christmas Day bank heist revealed in labour battle between Brink’s and fired guard
On Christmas Day 2016, four people wearing flesh-toned masks and winter clothing made what you might call the ultimate in unauthorized withdrawals from five bank machines in Langley, B.C.
They stole nearly half a million dollars in a Yuletide heist that has never resulted in charges, or even public disclosure — until now.
The main suspect in the robbery — a former Brink’s Company guard — has been fighting to get his job back since the global security firm fired him in November 2018. And Brink’s has been trying to get him to pay back $463,220 it shelled out to make things whole for the victim bank.
