Three crooks swiped $300,000 from a Brink’s armored truck in Brooklyn by distracting its driver — then snatching the bag of loot he had left on the vehicle’s bumper, cops said Sunday.

The man who removed the bag was described as a male with a slim build who was last seen wearing a black winter hat, a black hooded jacket, gray pants and black sneakers, cops said.

The man who distracted the armored-car employee was described as having a medium build and was last seen wearing a black winter hat with white trim, a black winter coat with a hood, gray pants and black sneakers.

The third suspect, who also distracted the Brink’s employee, is described as having a medium build and was last seen wearing a black winter hat, a black face mask, a black jacket, black pants, black sneakers and a black backpack, police said.

If it's "racist" to include the race of suspected miscreants, isn't it a violation of the woke protocol to include the (purported) sex?

They will be caught in this life or the next.

The Brinks driver was distracted by a man? Kate Upton would distract me enough.

It's been done before. All it takes is practice, practice, practice.

I would scrutinize the driver very carefully. You’re carrying $300K and you’re not paying attention? Really?

This smells like an inside job.

Nah, people get lazy.

Based on the description, there’s an outside chance this was an antifa operation

Based on the clothing description, I'd say the perps are of a very tawny complexion.

I was thinking one would be wearing a short skirt.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You beat me.

DITTO. MY FIRST THOUGHT!

That's a classic scene from "Groundhog Day." After thousands of chances to be in the right place at exactly the right time, you will likely succeed eventually. In that movie, Murray also masters the piano to the amazement of his co-worker who never knew he even played. But he had thousands of lessons by living the same day over and over again. Brilliant premises for a movie.

You bested me in pixels. Nice rendition!

[SuperLuminal]

It is always a distraction when someone stuffs a few c-notes into your shirt pocket...

[Sertorius]

That would be 75,000 dollars each.

[ViLaLuz]

Yup. Complacency is the worst thing in armed services.

Here is how the robbery went.....
