Army Ranger Robs Bank in 2 Minutes 21 Seconds…
Ойын-сауық
NEW MERCH: ethos.to/popomedic
On August 7, 2006, four men brandishing weapons rob the Bank of America branch in South Tacoma of $54,011. An alert bystander sees the bandits exit from an automobile wearing balaclavas and carrying handguns and assault rifles, then return three minutes later with duffel bags, jump back into the vehicle, and speed away. Believing it to be a bank heist, the witness copies down the license plate and gives it to the Tacoma police. The following morning, FBI agents will find the getaway car parked inside a fenced compound at Fort Lewis, and will quickly identify the soldiers involved in the bank robbery. The agents will serve a search warrant on the suspects’ quarters and recover weapons, clothing, and $21,000 in cash. Five soldiers and two Canadian citizens will be charged with involvement in the crime. All will eventually plead guilty and be sent to federal prison. The robbery is one of the most audacious and dangerous bank heists ever committed in Washington state.
At 5:15 p.m. on Monday, August 7, 2006, four men, wearing soft body armor under loose clothing and balaclavas, stormed into the Bank of America branch at 5813 S Tacoma Way, brandishing semiautomatic pistols and fully automatic Russian AK-47 assault rifles, forcing people in the lobby to the floor. While two robbers with automatic rifles covered the bank’s entrances, the other two, with handguns, moved swiftly to confront the tellers. The gang’s leader wielded a 9-mm Glock 19 with a red laser sight, which he pointed threateningly at the employees. His assistant intimidated tellers and customers with a large 9-mm Springfield XD pistol. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) terms this extremely violent method a “takeover” or “take-charge” robbery.

I’ve actually dealt with this type of thing on the job. Many years back some Ranger Instructors and a medic from the school’s Mountain Phase located in the N. GA mountains, had hooked up with an outsider they met through another soldier. If my memory serves me correctly, a strip club was involved somewhere in the timeline of the solider / outsider introductions. A friendly relationship bloomed between the RI’s and the outsider and talk began of knowledge of drug dealers and stash houses. The RI’s expressed interest in making money by robbing said dealers and stash houses by conducting dynamic building entries of the stash houses, dealing with any threats and making off with the spoils. The outsider they had built a trusting relationship with was an undercover Fed. The Rangers advised the Fed that they had all weapons, skills and tools necessary at their disposal to complete the mission and were ready to move forward with the plan. The undercover advised them that they will meet on a certain day in North Atlanta, Sandy Springs to be exact, in order to pick up a “clean” vehicle that was being stored at a self storage facility which consisted of multiple buildings of garages. At that time I served on Sandy Springs SWAT, which was my second LEO gig, and the second team I had served on. The team eventually became part of a multi jurisdictional team, which I believe it still is to this day. I have since moved on to other opportunities in law enforcement. Anyway my team assisted and was involved in the arrest of two of the Ranger Instructors and a medic that was with them. On Thursday, January 24th 2008, the Rangers and the undercover were set to meet in the parking lot of the NW corner shopping center located at the intersection of Roswell Road and Abernathy Road, 6690 Roswell Road, which I believe is currently occupied by a LA Fitness in an L shaped building. Along the other side of the L were other shops like a dry cleaners and other businesses. It had been a concern amongst ATF tactical team leadership and the case agent that the initial meetup for this “D” Day so to speak, would go south or go bad between the Rangers and the Fed at 6690 Roswell. The plan was that our team would stage there at 6690 in a vacant business with fogged glass and would conduct a vehicle assault on the RI’s vehicle if guns came out during the meet. Myself and couple other counter-sniper / observer team members were on top of the portion of the L shaped building that was not LA Fitness, armed with bull barrel Remington 700’s loaded with Black Hills Gold Match .308 Winchester 180 grain Nosler AccuBond ammunition which was great for punching through glass. We each had one of the three soldier’s heads in our crosshairs during the meetup. We observed and communicated the blow by blow over bone mics to the rest of the team. If nothing bad happened the Fed and the RI’s were supposed to drive north to the self storage place to get the clean car, and that’s what they did. Our team would then saddle up and be about 2 minutes behind them. Waiting at the self storage lot where the “clean” car was supposed to be, was a large contingent of ATF SWAT (they had more SWAT guys on their team than we did) along with US Army Criminal Investigation Division Agents. After a short drive up Roswell Road, we pulled into the self storage at 8457 Roswell Road and behind the RI’s, essentially blocking them in there. The place has one way in and out. ATF then hit them with bangs all around and had them face down and secured in short order. Army CID agents went to each soldier and removed their Military ID’s from their wallets, showed it to each one of them while they were on the ground, identified himself to them, and that he was taking custody of the ID card. There’s a few articles from back in the day that covered it, here is one of them. www.ar15.com/forums/general/_ARCHIVED_THREAD____Army_Rangers_arrested_for_conspiracy_to_commit_robbery/5-680289/?page=1

This heist is just the epitome of more ability than brains. Even in the most casual of planned robbery (non-tweaker robbery that is) someone would think to not use a personal vehicle or plates etc. These guys go to all that trouble training for a $50k take? Split what, 4 or 5 ways? Not worth looking over your shoulder forever. ALSO, why rob a bank and get the FBI involved for so little money? At that point hold up the local neighborhood drug dealer, a crime no one is investigating. They are bound to have a similar amount on hand. These kids watched too many movies.

I was going to comment something along those very same lines. Most banks keep a minimal amount of cash on hand at any given time. That's why if you want to withdraw a large amount, you have to wait a few days. They have to order the cash from their main vault and have it delivered. Even for $50k per person, it wouldn't have been worth it. Split that 5 ways, and it's definitely not worth it. You make less than a year's salary, and end up in prison for a quarter of a century. Not exactly worth the risk. And they were prepared to "Go North Hollywood," so they were willing to risk death, or life in prison, for an amount of cash that would buy you a used Toyota Corolla.

I know a nortious bank robber from South Carolina. While at his sister's (manager of a local bank) house one night he noticed a book of Banking SOP's (standing operating procedures). There he learned that most banks have more dummy cameras then actual working cameras, on pay days the banks put money on a cash cart and wheel it between tellers. Cash carts didn't have dye bags, and normally had up to $50,000 on them. He then would run into a bank, not saying a word, not brandishing a weapon, jump the counter and grab as much money as he could. He ended up robbing around 10 banks this way in North Carolina and South Carolina, because he didn't brandish a weapon, didn't make threats of shooting anyone and was only taking money from the cash cart and not the tellers or safe, he only got 5 years in prison. He never wore a mask, just a hat and sunglasses, and shockingly the FBI never had great videos of his face. While picking up his daughter at school one day he walked past a young bank teller that worked at a bank he previously hit. She started screaming and that's what led to his capture, weeks later in North Carolina. He was on Americas Most Wanted, season 3 if I remember correctly. A really nice guy, son of a preacher, and his family owned a South Carolina newspaper, crazy thing is he only started robbing banks out of pure boredom and the banking SOP book he stumbled upon. His family didn't need the money.

The podcast is on a KZread channel called anything goes. It's all phenomenal but just the last bit is about the heist. Enjoy! I'm not kidding, it's a legendary story!

Found your channel today, and I just can't stop listening. Good good deal. details on point & haven't skipped a beat yet.
Even if they removed the license plate, those idiots still let others see the shit ton… wait… they did all that and only took $54k? Bwaaahaahaa!!! What a great take, that was well worth ruining their lives over.

Guys, Here is the Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Having been through all this same training (and more), deployed 7 times and listened to many a “crazy drunken idea”, I’ll admit that for some who go to these battle extremes, it’s hard for them to come back…..especially when they are inebriated. I had a Ranger buddy give me a whole OP Order on going into his ex-girlfriends new boyfriends barracks room, just like any CQB room clearing op, where I had to literally restrain him in his room. It is a sad reality that we train our warriors to such extremes sometime and expect every one of them to come back and just fit in. Well done on the mini-doc. 👍 I finished my career as a Special Agent and this end process is what every investigator try’s to put together to “tell the story”. Incomplete stories or ones that don’t make sense rarely get prosecuted. Prayers for peace but always be prepared for war. RLTW! 🙏, T

I always heard about this story growing up in the army. I was always surprised why they would do a thing and thought about how badass the regiment guys we’re. I’ve looked this up and haven’t found a word about the “operation”. I’m glad someone has finally brought this story to light.

Its so wild that anyone would use such an easily archived-by-third-party communication source to coordinate a crime and not even try to at least disguise what it is they were doing.

Robbing a place you didn’t case ahead of time (nor had an account at ), masking advanced tactical training, finding a way such that there wouldn’t be video of you, not flashing cash (nor spending it at all for several years), are just some of what’s required to ultimately get away with something like this……

Just found your channel yesterday. I’m a truck driver and listen while I drive. Love the videos man please keep the special ops stuff coming in hot.
This video format is legit awesome! Love the historical incident breakdown 🤙🏻
What most people forget, is that the police have something only a few remembers, time.. The investigators have alot of time. And they will figure it out..
Explains the payday 2 quote “What the hell are these guys ex-military?” Edit “my fucking dad turned me in.” Is the greatest quote in history.
Loving these true crime breakdowns! I've never heard of this one or the Norco incident! Great video!
Absolutely nailed it with the editing, information and music choice for this keep it up hope to see more of this kind of stuff!
I really enjoy these kind of videos that you've been putting out
All that planning undone by leaving the front plate on. Counting your money in the barracks was probably not wise either.
Really well done, man. Keep going, especially with the more obscure ones like this and Norco.
The inro is badass. Really like the new direction. There are tons of people doing reaction channels, but not so many with a Leo background that can do these breakdowns with a sick sense of humor.
Love the music on all of your videos. Keep up the great content!
Love your vids. The style, music and tempo is just right. Your channel is already starting its upward climb but it’s higher baby.
Really well done! Never knew about this. It's crazy how the simplest or smallest detail can derail an otherwise well laid out plan.
Wow never thought I would hear the name Elliot Summer again. He played airsoft with our local group right after he finished Ranger school. Then a few years later heard he was arrested for this robbery. Crazy!
After watching 'Army Rangers SMOKED Some Crips,' one realizes that Army Rangers can be both the good and bad guys.
Man I love these type of videos you do.
Awesome content man really well done, I can’t imagine how long this takes to make but can’t wait to see more
Don’t know if you’ll see this but man, this is an incredibly well made vid!! Absolutely love it❤️

This channel is easily one of the most entertaining on KZread but low key it's taught me that the most prolific robbers are almost all the ways military related. It makes me curious to know whether or not the government is distinctively using that ability to rob towards its advantage.
I love the LEO recaps and your style of videos, I’m sure it’s not easy but keep up the great content.
This format was dope!!! To the point and very engaging. Great job!!!

I was an Army Reservist at Fort Lewis for pre-deployment training for a month around Thanksgiving in 2002. It rained a lot and we were in the field quite a bit. The post overall seemed quite nice with a lot of newer buildings. We were in some really old musty buildings, far away from everything else. As an older POG reservist, I saw a lot of very young looking Rangers and I just tried to stay out of their way. I certainly respected and admired the commitment it takes to achieve that title. I am glad that no one was seriously hurt in this robbery, and as a sworn LEO in my regular life, I can say it was destined to fail miserably. I would think a young soldier, freshly minted as a Ranger, would be fired up to serve and gain experience, not go out and rob people. What a waste of a potentially great career and the admiration of his country. I only have one question: How did they get ahold of actual fragmentation grenades? The rest of their loadout was pretty standard stuff, but grenades?
