FBI Announces Arrest in Fatal Armored Vehicle Robbery and Increase in Reward

John V. Gillies, the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI Miami Division has announced an arrest in the fatal armored vehicle robbery on October 1, 2010.

Before announcing the name of the suspect, SAC Gillies said, "We want to express our sympathies to the victim’s family, friends and co-workers. I want them to know and I want the public to know we are taking this crime very seriously. Law enforcement has been working around the clock to bring the criminals to justice."

A task force of more than two dozen agents, officers and analysts are investigating this matter, to include, the FBI, Miami-Dade Police, Broward Sheriff’s Office, Miami Police, Miami Beach Police, Doral Police, Hialeah Police, Miramar Police and Miami Gardens Police.

The FBI believes at least four people were involved in the armored car robbery on Friday, October 1, 2010, in front of the Bank of America at
7950 Miramar Parkway, Miramar, Florida
. During the hold-up, the robbers shot and killed one of the guards.

Because the Miramar Police responded so quickly, they apprehended 31-year-old Nathaniel Moss from Miami Gardens, Florida. Moss was apprehended near the scene. The FBI has filed a criminal complaint with a Federal Magistrate charging Moss with conspiracy, robbery, use of a firearm during a crime of violence and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime that resulted in the death of a person.

The FBI needs the public's help in locating two persons of interest who may know information that could help solve this crime. Investigators would like to speak with 37-year-old Terrance LaCliffe Brown from Miami Gardens, Florida. He was last seen driving a beige Infinity FX 35.

The second person of interest has not been identified but is described as a black male, approximately 5’10”, thin build, and was last seen wearing a green University of Miami hoodie and shorts.

Every dollar that was stolen has been fully recovered. The amount of money will not be disclosed.

A reward has been increased to $100,000. On Friday, the armored vehicle company offered a reward of up to $75,000 for information leading to arrests within 10 days of the crime. Today, the FBI has authorized another reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to arrests. There is no time limit for the FBI reward.

If you have information about the armored vehicle robbery, the suspect or the persons of interest, please call the FBI at 305-944-9101.

SAC Gillies reminds the public that “the remaining suspects should be considered armed and very, very dangerous."

All suspects are considered innocent.
