Four accused in botched robbery, including driver of armored car

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A day after leading police on a chase through three towns, suspects accused of robbing an armored car were expected in court expected to face charges. The four suspects include the armored car's driver, authorities said Wednesday
The suspects are accused of leading police on a chase Tuesday through three northern New Jersey towns before the pursuit ended with the cash scattered in a field.
The robbery attempt began at 2:25 p.m. at a Bank of America branch in Livingston as two employees of Dunbar Armored Car Service were making a pickup, Livingston police Chief Michael Erb said.
The employees returned to the car, and found two would-be robbers waiting, said Special Agent Steve Siegel, spokesman for the FBI's Newark office.
The suspects fired several gunshots inside the car, Siegel said. A bulletproof vest saved the Dunbar employee in the passenger seat from serious injuries. Authorities, who declined to release that employee's name, say he was not involved in the robbery.
"When he saw individuals were in the back of the truck and attempted to take over, he reached for his gun and that's when assailants shot at him," Siegel said.
The two suspects got out of the armored car into a waiting black Jeep.
A police chase ensued through Livingston, Millburn and South Orange before the Jeep collided with a car driven by a South Orange detective, left the roadway and came to a halt, Erb said.
Authorities say the armored car's driver, Evrol Dean, 42, of Newark, was part of the heist.
The other three suspects charged are Dalton Crooks, 40, of Orange; Marvin Tillman, 40, of Newark; and John Low, 38, of Orange.
Siegel said the money, about $80,000, has been recovered.
The men were to appear in federal court Wednesday afternoon.

How do you know there was no red haired person involved? I don't glean that from the article.

Tom,
Yesterday,during the chase, there was scanner talk of the missing 4th suspect who was identified by the armored truck driver as a "red-haired caucasian".
I would guess that the driver was neither red-haired nor caucasian and he thought he was being real clever.....

It's funny how everyone on this message baord chimes in during the incident and thinks they know all the answers. You have to wait until the entire investigation has been completed before all the facts can be given. I bet this story isn't the full truth or all the correct facts. Be patient!!!!! |
