Former Brink's Employee Sentenced to Federal Prison in Robbery Scheme

A former Brink's Inc. employee was sentenced to 171 months in federal prison on Monday for robbing two armored trucks, according to United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould.

The district put out a press release about the sentencing on Tuesday. According to the release, 25-year-old Isaiah Warren was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey on Monday for interfering with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.

In addition to the prison term, Warren was ordered to pay $696,700 in restitution, among other conditions.

According to court documents, the incident occurred just after noon on Nov. 30, 2024. A Brink's armored truck was completing his assigned route when he arrived at DolEx Dollar Express located at 1788 W. Irving Blvd., in Irving.

The Brink's driver collected the deposits from the check cashing and money transfer business and placed the deposits in a Brink's tote bag. Warren, dressed in a ski mask and a black Loomis jacket, approached the driver as he returned to the truck, pressed a handgun underneath the driver's body armor, and removed the driver's Brink's issued firearm from his holster.

Warren then took the tote bag containing approximately $34,700 from the driver and fled the location in a vehicle.

About a month later, according to court records, Warren and another individual robbed a second Brink's armored truck. On that occasion, the driver was beginning her assigned route filling ATM machines at a credit union when Warren and the other individual approached her while armed with handguns and wearing face coverings.

The press release states that the driver was forced back into the Brink's truck at gunpoint. Once inside, Warren and the other individual entered the secure area of the truck where U.S. currency was kept in bags. Warren took two bags containing approximately $662,000.

After exiting the truck, Warren and the other person were confronted by a credit union security guard. Warren pointed his firearm at the security guard and he and the other individual fled on foot with the bags of stolen money.

Warren was caught in January 2025 after being pulled over in a traffic stop in Gainesville, Texas. He was found to be in possession of a firearm used in both robberies, multi-gram quantities of marijuana, and $98,785 in stolen cash.

The FBI Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Calvert is prosecuting the case.
