Boston's $2.775 Million Brink's Robbery Rebuilt in Roblox
A Roblox reconstruction of Boston's 1950 Brink's robbery and the FBI investigation that took almost six years to break the crew's silence.
On January 17, seven disguised armed men entered a Brink's counting room and stole approximately $2.775 million in cash, checks, and securities. The target was an armored transportation depot on Prince Street, rather than a bank branch.
This documentary follows the planning, physical evidence, thousands of interviews, and disputes within the crew. Joseph O'Keefe's cooperation in January 1956 connected the investigation's scattered pieces as a six-year federal limitation deadline approached. The film continues through the arrests, trial, eight convictions, and limited recovery of the stolen money.
The visuals are a historical reconstruction made in Roblox, not archival footage.
