Ex-Brink’s worker stole over half-million in Fort Worth armored truck cash heist
On a morning in December 2024, a Brink’s armored truck driver was beginning her route refilling ATMs.
At 9:54a.m., the driver, who was by herself, arrived at a branch of the Educational Employees Credit Union at Loop 820 and Clifford Street in Fort Worth.
The Brink’s driver pulled in front of the credit union and got out.
Wearing face coverings and armed with handguns, Isaiah Warren and Cameron Henderson approached, Warren would later admit in a document filed in U.S. District Court.
Warren, a former Brink’s employee, had a .40-caliber handgun. Henderson was armed with a 9mm handgun with an extended magazine.
The driver was forced at gunpoint back into the Brink’s truck. Warren would later admit that he took two cash bags containing about $662,000 from the back of the truck. He removed the driver’s 9mm handgun from its holster and left the truck with her.
Henderson followed and inadvertently dropped his gun.
Warren was confronted by an armed security guard who worked for the credit union.
Warren used the Brink’s driver as a shield and pointed his gun at the guard. Warren and Henderson walked or ran with the bags of money and got into a Mercedes-Benz that had been stolen earlier that morning from a residence in Highland Park. They drove away.
Three days later, Warren and a woman were pulled over on a traffic stop after running a red light in Gainesville. A federal arrest warrant had been issued for Warren, and he was arrested.
The Fort Worth robbery was the second Brink’s armored truck heist that Warren committed within about a month. On Nov. 30, 2024, Warren approached a driver returning to a Brink’s truck at a check-cashing and money-transfer business in Irving. Warren pressed a handgun underneath the driver’s body armor and removed the driver’s gun from a holster. Warren took a tote bag from the driver that contained about $34,700.
Senior U.S. District Judge David Godbey on Monday sentenced Warren, 25, to 14 years and three months in prison. Warren was ordered to pay $696,700 in restitution. Under an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Warren had pleaded guilty to interfering with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Henderson was also indicted in the Fort Worth robbery. The case is pending.
It is not clear in what capacity Warren was employed at Brink’s before the robberies or how much time elapsed between the end of Warren’s Brink’s employment and the first robbery.
Warren’s defense attorney and spokespeople for the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas and Brink’s did not respond to a reporter’s questions.
