Three Philadelphia men charged in $2 million Brink’s armored car robbery

Three men from Philadelphia have been arrested and charged in connection with the June 21, 2025, armed robbery of a Brink’s armored car outside a Home Depot on Castor Avenue. The United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David Metcalf, announced that Daishaun “Daisha” Hughes-Murchison, 30, Brian Wallace, 31, and Trayvine Jackson, 31, face charges of robbery interfering with interstate commerce under the Hobbs Act and use of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. Authorities allege that more than $2 million was stolen during the incident.

According to court documents, at about 8 a.m., two armed men approached a Brink’s driver as he walked down an alley behind the Home Depot. They reportedly forced him to the ground at gunpoint, took his company-issued firearm and keys, and accessed the armored vehicle to steal cash belonging to Brink’s Inc. The suspects then fled—two in a black Hyundai Sonata with Virginia temporary tags and one following in a silver Ford Fusion with Pennsylvania plates.

Investigators linked Hughes-Murchison to ownership of the Ford Fusion. Wallace allegedly rented the Hyundai Sonata used in the getaway and returned it hours after the robbery. Surveillance video captured Wallace leaving from the rental location with Hughes-Murchison’s vehicle. Cell phone records cited in complaints place Wallace and Jackson near the rental site after returning the car and both Wallace's and Hughes-Murchison's phones near Home Depot during the time of the crime.

Brink’s informed investigators that Jackson had previously worked for them but was terminated following an internal investigation.

The FBI Philadelphia Violent Crimes Task Force and Philadelphia Police Department investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorney Amanda R. Reinitz is prosecuting.

"The charges and allegations contained in the criminal complaint are merely accusations. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty in court," said officials.
