In October 1981, Boudin and members of the group collaborated with the Black Liberation Army on the robbery to help fund their anti-government campaigns. They targeted a Brink armored truck, which they kept in Rockland County, making $ 1.6 million. During the robbery, gunmen killed Brink’s security guard, Peter Paige, before transferring the money to a U-Haul truck a mile away, where a 38-year-old Boudin was sitting in the cab. The truck was stopped by police at a roadblock, where Boudin – unarmed – immediately surrendered. Gunmen in the back of the truck stormed out and opened fire on police, killing two Long Island police officers — Sgt. Edward O’Grady and Officer Waverly Brown.
