Two men got away with more than $1 million Tuesday morning from a Brink’s truck parked outside a Homewood grocery store, authorities said. What they didn’t know was a location tracking device was inside bundles of cash.
An image from a surveillance camera provided by federal officials shows one of two suspects holding bins of cash in the robbery of a Brink's armored truck on May 2, 2023, outside a Jewel-Osco store on the 3100 block of West 183rd Street in south suburban Homewood.
What they didn’t know was a location tracking device was inside bundles of cash, which led police right to them, federal authorities said.Devonte Davis and Darrell Singleton, who were both charged with armed robbery, appeared before a magistrate judge in federal court Wednesday, where they were held pending detention hearings next week, federal authorities said.
Davis, who is about 6-foot-2 and was wearing light clothing, also was armed, authorities said. He joined Singleton and they forced the guard into the truck, took the Brink’s bins and sped away in a Nissan Maxima with 10 deposit bags, each with $50,000, and seven bins, each containing about $100,000, the complaint said.
As police got wind of the robbery, they reviewed speed cameras in search of the gray car, and found a gray Nissan Maxima speeding away with a license plate from a 2018 Hyundai reported stolen on April 28, the complaint said. That’s when the pair drove to the 9500 block of South Indiana Avenue where they parked the Maxima and moved the stolen money into Davis’ black Jeep, according to the complaint.
