Arrowhead Mall 1994: The Silenced .22 Armored Van Heist | The FBI Files | S3 E11

An armored van vanished in minutes. A driver lay dead. What looked impenetrable was cracked by a single silenced shot and a plan built by men who knew the rules too well. Step inside the 1994 Arrowhead Mall Wells Fargo heist in Glendale, Arizona, as FBI agents chase a red pickup through dead-end leads, a composite sketch rattles nerves, and a witness under hypnosis recalls just enough to reopen the trail. See how ex-law officers turned bounty hunters exploited an eight-inch door gap, why a church parking lot held the key, and how a buried license plate in the desert confirmed what no one could prove. Phone taps, a bugged apartment, and a coded cash split marked F, Y, and T pull the case tight—until one suspect finally talks. This is the meticulous investigation that turned suspicion into convictions without giving away every turn. Watch to uncover how professionals were unmasked by tiny mistakes and relentless forensics. Watch the full episode now to see how the FBI put the pieces together and brought justice to John Magash. #FBIFiles #TrueCrime #ArmoredCarHeist #Glendale #WellsFargo #Forensics #FBI
