  The Great Brinks Robbery by J.J. Maloney
While questioning people in the area of the Brinks building, the FBI learned that a 1949 green Ford stake body truck, with a canvas top, had been parked near the Prince Street door of Brinks around the time of the robbery.
Before the robbery was committed, the participants had agreed that if anyone ''muffed,'' he would be ''taken care of.'' O'Keefe felt that most of the gang members had ''muffed.'' Talking to the FBI was his way of taking care of them all.
McGinnis, who had not been at the scene on the night of the robbery, received a life sentence on each of eight indictments that charged him with being an accessory before the fact in connection with the Brinks robbery.

Boston police and Bureau agents got to work within minutes of the bank's call—scouring the crime scene, identifying missing items, questioning the employees (and checking for possible disgruntled ones), and blanketing the wider community of criminals and their supporters.
