A monument 40 years after Nanuet Brinks robbed two police officers on the left and killed the guards
Nyack, Rockland County NY November 6 2021 40 years have passed since two police officers and armored truck guards were killed and several others were injured in a Brink’s armored car robbery in Rockland County on Wednesday.
The county performed its annual service at the Brinks Memorial in Central Nyack, with higher turnout than usual to commemorate the solemn opportunity.
This week, a parole hearing is scheduled for one of the robbers whose imprisonment was commuted by then-Governor Andrew Cuomo.
On October 20, 1981, 10 terrorists stole $ 1.6 million in cash from a vehicle at Nanuet Mall, killed Brink’s guard Peter Page, and injured Brink’s guards Joseph Trombino and James Kelly. rice field.
Less than an hour after Page was killed, two Nyack police officers, Waverly Brown and Sgt. Edward O’Grady stopped the truck at a roadside checkpoint and was killed in an ambush.
MTF tracked the responsible person and nine people associated with the Black Liberation Army and the weather underground of the radical group were convicted.
The ten were killed in a gun battle with police, and the other two were convicted of robbery-related plots and extortion.
Trombino survived the injury and worked for Brinks for 20 years. He almost died in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and was eventually killed during delivery to the North Tower on September 11, 2001.
David Gilbert was sentenced to 75 years in prison, but in August, former Governor Andrew Cuomo commuted Gilbert’s sentence just hours before he resigned.
“We were all disappointed that the former governor had done it as a farewell shot out of the door, which would hurt for a long time,” said Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco.
Gilbert’s son, Chesa Boudin, is a district attorney in San Francisco, lobbying for the release of his father.
Mary Crowley, whose brother was killed, has another message to the Parole Commission.
“Where is justice because he wasn’t thinking about committing these murders leaving his child behind?” Crawley said. “He needs to stay in jail.”
The family has issued a statement, but knows little about the upcoming inquiry this week. The decision may come soon next week.
