One of the robberies occurred on Halloween morning in 2022, when a Brink’s security courier was refilling an ATM in Lansing. Corrie Singleton, Darrell Singleton and others forcibly dragged the courier into the armored truck at gunpoint and ordered her to open compartments and hand over bags of money, according to a criminal complaint previously filed in the case.

Another of the heists occurred on May 2, 2023, when two guards were picking up money from a bank inside a grocery store in Homewood. One of the robbers struck a guard in the head with a gun. The robbers took approximately $1.1 million, all of which was recovered by law enforcement upon the arrests of Davis and Darrell Singleton later that day in Calumet Park, according to a criminal complaint previously filed in the case.
