MIAMI (AP) - Four people were sentenced to prison Friday for their roles in one of the biggest heists in Florida history — a brazen daylight armed robbery of $7.4 million in cash from a warehouse near Miami International Airport.
The cash was part of an $80 million deposit shipped by a bank in Frankfurt, Germany, to the Federal Reserve Bank branch in Miami on Nov. 6, 2005. The masked robbers, at least one armed with a gun, ordered warehouse and security personnel to lie on the floor while they loaded bags of currency into a pickup truck that had pulled into one of the cargo bays.
The ringleader, Karls Monzon, and getaway driver, Jeffrey Boatwright, were each sentenced to more than 17 years in prison. A former Brink's security guard who provided inside information for the robbery, Onelio Diaz, was sentenced to 16 years.
