VA. ATM Robberies
What happens when you are a young and stupid criminal? You get sloppy, then you get caught. Three young men, wearing Halloween masks, shoved guns at armored car workers who were stocking ATMs with cash and made off with $360,000 from three mid-day heists in Northern Virginia. But by the third ambush, at a Bank of America in Woodbridge, they finally messed up.
A white Cadillac they used as a getaway car was registered to one of the robbers, Christopher Blakeney, 21, who lived a quarter-mile from the bank. On April Fools day no less, FBI agents went to his home and another address and found the money, the guns and the masks. The last of the tree men finally plead guilty yesterday. Read more about it.
