A former Brink’s, Inc. employee was sentenced on April 27 to 171 months in federal prison for robbing two Brink’s armored trucks, according to United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould.
The sentencing of Isaiah Warren, age 25, comes after his conviction for interfering with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. In addition to his prison term, Warren was ordered to pay $696,700 in restitution.
Court documents show that on November 30, 2024, Warren approached a Brink’s driver at DolEx Dollar Express in Irving while wearing black clothing and a ski mask. He pressed a handgun under the driver's body armor and took both the driver’s issued firearm and a tote bag containing about $34,700 before fleeing. On December 31, Warren admitted he and another person robbed another Brink’s truck outside Educational Employees Credit Union in Fort Worth. The pair forced the driver into the vehicle at gunpoint and stole cash bags totaling approximately $662,000 before escaping on foot after being confronted by a security guard.
On January 3, police stopped Warren in Gainesville for running a red light. Officers found him with the same handgun used in both robberies as well as marijuana and nearly $99,000 in stolen currency.
