The story of the guard
The folder also includes the guard’s story.
“For personal reasons, on Tuesday of this week, I asked my boss the possibility that today, Friday the 16th, he would let me work in the Brinks Company tower, without going out on the street, since I “had to do some paperwork during the afternoon so that I could leave a little earlier, which my boss authorized me to do.”he pointed out.
“As the morning dawned, I carried out my work as normal, with company officials frequently coming and going. At around 12:30, a group of six administrative officials asked me to open the door for them so they could go out to smoke. I saw them do this on several occasions during the day. At those moments I remember opening the door for them, where they came out, and it was completely locked.”he adds.
“As a few minutes passed, I looked at the monitors of the security cameras we had here, I realized that a group of at least 10 people, with their faces covered, were climbing over the wall of the company’s perimeter fence, they did so by climbing some stairs that were on the street and inside the parking lot. I remember that I saw some people in the parking lot throwing out boxes and bags full of money, while other people retrieved it on the street. At the same time, the head of security arrived at this turret and I showed him what was happening, where we could see that the attack had taken place.He continued.
“Then, I pressed the panic button several times without any response, I also tried to call and couldn’t, as this place doesn’t have good coverage. On the other hand, my boss also tried to do the same, but to no avail, so we decided to take refuge in the tower to avoid getting injured by these people, as we didn’t know if they had the intention to reach here or not.”He pronounced the sentence.
