DALLAS, Texas — A former Brink’s employee has been sentenced to 171 months in federal prison after carrying out two armed robberies targeting armored trucks in Irving and Fort Worth, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars, federal officials said.
25-year-old Isaiah Warren received a sentence of 171 months (14 years, 3 months) from Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey after pleading guilty to interfering with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. He was also ordered to pay $696,700 in restitution.
According to court records, the first robbery occurred on Nov. 30, 2024, at approximately 12:06 p.m. at a DolEx Dollar Express location at the 1700 block of W. Irving Blvd (near intersection of W. Pioneer Dr) in Irving. A Brink’s driver had just collected deposits and placed them in a tote bag when Warren approached, wearing all black, including a ski mask and a jacket bearing another armored company’s branding.
Prosecutors said Warren pressed a handgun underneath the driver’s body armor, removed the driver’s issued firearm and took a tote bag containing about $34,700 before fleeing in a vehicle.
Court documents show Warren later admitted involvement in a second robbery on Dec. 31, 2024, in Fort Worth. At about 9:54 a.m., a Brink’s driver had arrived at the Educational Employees Credit Union on Clifford Street to service ATM machines when Warren and another individual approached, both armed and wearing face coverings.
Authorities said the suspects forced the driver back into the armored truck at gunpoint and entered the secure area where cash was stored. Warren removed two Brink’s cash bags containing approximately $662,000. As they exited the vehicle, a security guard confronted them, and Warren pointed a firearm at the guard before the suspects fled on foot with the money.
Investigators said Warren was stopped by law enforcement on Jan. 3, 2025, in Gainesville after running a red light. During the traffic stop, officers recovered a Springfield XD .40 caliber handgun linked to both robberies, multiple grams of marijuana and $98,785 in stolen cash.
The FBI Dallas Field Office led the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Calvert prosecuted the case.
