On Sept. 15, 2012, two robbers packing AK-47s stormed into a GardaWorld cash storage facility in Riviera Beach, Fla. They jabbed a rifle into the back of Hjalmar Towns, a company supervisor, and grabbed a Ruger pistol from his waistband.

Towns, who had tried to deceive investigators by saying his assailants in Riviera Beach were Haitians speaking Creole, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for the robbery — and more than 14 years for the failed armored car job.

Its cash management business has been targeted by thieves on many occasions over the years — and some of those criminals have had ties to the company, including in high-profile crimes in Riviera Beach, Fla., in 2012, and San Leandro, Calif., in 2022.
