The Dunbar Armored robbery

The Dunbar Armored robbery in 1997 is still considered the biggest bank robberies of all time in US history. Allen Pace was the leader, and he turned out to be the worst "safety inspector" the Dunbar Armored trucking company had ever hired.

Pace timed the security cameras at the Dunbar facility in Los Angeles to avoid them and enlisted the help of five childhood friends to rob the vault. They broke in, assaulted two guards during their lunch breaks, and loaded $18.9 million into a U-Haul truck.

Despite the fact that the group left almost no evidence, Hill was implicated two years later when he accidentally gave a real estate broker a stack of cash bound with the original currency straps; the broker contacted the police. Hill confessed, implicating the five other robbers and three other men who helped with the money laundering. The pace was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2001, Boyd to 17 years, and the other four robbers were sentenced to 8 to 10 years. Two of the men who helped with money laundering were sentenced to 2.5 years in prison.
