Three armed suspects robbed a Brinks employee at gunpoint on Tuesday morning, October 20, 2026, outside the Chase Bank at 3115 Ridge Road in Lansing, Illinois, the Lansing Police Department said in a press release reported by The Lansing Journal. Officers were called at around 8:53 a.m. to the bank for a report of an armed robbery. 'Preliminary investigation revealed that three armed suspects approached a Brinks employee while servicing the ATM outside of this location, held the employee at gunpoint, and stole a substantial amount of U.S. currency before fleeing the scene,' the department's press release said. No injuries were reported.

The Chicago Focal, reporting independently on Wednesday, October 21, confirmed the same account from police: three people held the Brinks employee at gunpoint while the worker serviced the ATM outside the Chase branch shortly before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, took what police described as a substantial amount of money and fled, and the employee was not injured. Authorities had not released further details, including any description of the suspects or the exact amount taken.
