Three men arrested in connection with million robbery of Brinks armored truck in Philadelphia.
Three individuals from Philadelphia have been apprehended concerning a dramatic heist that involved the theft of over million from a Brink’s armored truck, according to federal prosecutors. The suspects, identified as Daishaun “Daisha” Hughes-Murchison, 30, and two men, Brian Wallace and Trayvine Jackson, both aged 31, face serious charges that include robbery interfering with interstate commerce and using a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. The robbery took place in June 2025 and is suspected to have been an inside operation.
The events unfolded on the morning of June 21, when the Brink’s armored vehicle was en route to a Home Depot located on the 2500 block of Castor Avenue in Philadelphia. Surveillance footage and court documents indicate that the armored car’s driver was ambushed in a rear alley by two armed assailants wielding AR-style rifles. The suspects approached the driver from behind, compelled him to the ground, seized his company-issued firearm and keys, and restrained him. An accomplice then accessed the armored vehicle, successfully stealing a considerable amount of cash that belonged to Brink’s Inc.
The assailants made their escape in a black Hyundai Sonata, with a third individual tailing them in a silver Ford Fusion. Subsequent investigations revealed that the Ford belonged to Hughes-Murchison, while the Hyundai had been rented by Wallace. In a development that linked the suspects to the crime, Wallace was seen on surveillance footage returning to the Ford Fusion a few hours post-robbery.
Cellphone records further corroborated the suspects’ whereabouts, indicating that both Wallace and Jackson were near the car rental facility at the time of the incident, while Hughes-Murchison was in the vicinity of the Home Depot during the robbery. Notably, Brinks officials disclosed that Jackson had previously been employed by the company but had been terminated after an internal investigation.
Last week, all three defendants made their initial court appearances. Jackson was ordered to be detained, while detention hearings for Wallace and Hughes-Murchison are slated for later this week.
As investigations continue, federal officials are keen to uncover more details surrounding this high-stakes robbery that highlights serious security concerns within the logistics industry. The case remains under close scrutiny as authorities work to understand the potential ramifications of this incident.
This situation serves as a stark reminder about the vulnerabilities that exist within secure transportation systems and the continuous threats posed by organized criminal activities.
