Brinks is one of the most recognizable cash management companies in the world.

Despite their sensitive work, it’s uncommon to hear they’ve been targeted by criminals, but that’s exactly what happened in 1970 when armed men ambushed a driver and his partner in Jacksonville.

The driver was murdered in a shootout that unfolded before dozens of people at a popular department store.

The case remains unsolved.
