The 1981 Brink's robbery was an armed robbery and three related murders committed on October 20, 1981, by several Black Liberation Army members and four former members of the Weather Underground, now associated with the May 19th Communist Organization. The plan called for the BLA members — including Kuwasi Balagoon, Mtayari Sundiata, Samuel Brown and Mutulu Shakur — to carry out the robbery, with the M19CO members — David Gilbert, Judith Alice Clark, Kathy Boudin, and Marilyn Buck — to serve as getaway drivers in switchcars. The conspirators stole $1.6 million in cash from a Brink's armored car at the Nanuet Mall, in Nanuet, New York, killing a Brink's guard, Peter Paige, seriously wounding Brink's guard Joseph Trombino, slightly wounding Brink's truck driver guard, James Kelly, subsequently killing two Nyack police officers, Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown, and seriously wounding Police Detective Artie Keenan.
