Remember this well. I later worked for Wells Fargo Armoured and ran that same route carrying millions of dollars in cash. You and your partner were on your own after Bell Rd and I-17 in what was then the edge of PHX AZ, cell phones were just coming into use , had limited range and only worked when near a city large enough to justify a cell tower. The operational rules were , that 1 man had to be in the driver's compartment at all times, If stopped by law enforcement you nor your partner were to open a door or exit the vehicle. The Police agency making the stop was required to contact their dispatch,that in turn would contact our Vault Manager who radioed the driver , where radio waves weren't blocked by terrain, the driver then verified that they were stopped by law enforcement along with the location and the officer(s) name after the officer showed his law enforcement I.D. Even then No one was to step outside or open a door. The gun ports were large enough to pass a driver's license and paperwork to the officer. If a situation required either the Messenger Guard or driver guard to exit the vehicle it could only be done after the law enforcement agency had a supervisor on site along with a manager from Wells Fargo Armoured. It was done because of this hijacking. The Northern Arizona route was one of the longest runs for Wells Fargo Armoured and no one was concerned until 6 hours after we left our PHX vault. On one trip the cab was filling with fuel vapor to the point we were getting sick. There are No Windows that can be opened, we finally propped open our cab doors until I could reach that same gas station, back then it was remote and had no mechanic at the station. I had been a mechanic before working for Wells Fargo Armoured So I asked the pump jockey if I could use their tools. Against company rules we exited the truck ( after pulling to the rear doors of the station's repair bay) While I repaired the ruptured fuel line my partner stood watch with shotgun in hand. That put us 3 hours behind to our 1st bank in Flagstaff. No one was worried. Even when this hijacking took place you were not supposed to exit the cab unless your partner came into the cab 1st.
This was a happy ending. Justice was served. Sweet!

Fishermen, hunters and dog walkers rock.
They didn’t have to kill the guards. They only would have got a few years in prison then go back to pick up the hidden money. Really stupid.
In1977, when these crimes happened, I lived in Phoenix; and I read about the crimes in the Arizona Republic. Not long after the crimes, I installed a facsimile machine in an FBI office, oddly enough, located in a motel room. Sometime later the FBI arrested the Poland brothers, not far from the motel room. I have always wondered if the two events had a connection.

As for a real murderer that is has put themselves in the electric chair. Murder is murder, putting a man to death for murder is doing God's work.

Too much respect for a costume wearer. Even when policy said never open the door. This should have been a flop but the sheepishness of the guards made it a success.
They had always intended to murder the Guards, which is why a garotte had been constructed and was brought along on the day! There had never been any reason to use the electronic stun gun on the defenceless and cooperative hostages, nor had there been any reason to physically beat them. Both were done because the robbers revelled in the absolute power that they had over their defenceless hostages. The custom ordering of the body bags a month before the robbery, establishes beyond doubt that the robbers premeditated the murder of the guards, because if they had never intended to murder them and to dispose of their bodies, why did they custom order their body bags.
For all the planning that these two needed to plan, they sure made a lot of big mistakes.
