How Alan Pace Pulled the 1997 Dunbar Armored Heist | The FBI Files | S5 E1

A vanishing crew, a silent warehouse, and the largest cash heist in U.S. history. See how a cracked amber lens and a money trail pierced a code of silence. In this episode of The FBI Files, agents retrace the 1997 Los Angeles Dunbar armored depot robbery that netted $18.9 million. Masked gunmen moved like insiders, used keys, spoke in number codes, and ripped out hidden VCRs. With no faces, no prints, and only a broken truck reflector, the case went cold—until a suspicious diesel rental, washed bills, and a shadowy company called Extreme Entertainment cracked the mystery open. Follow the joint FBI, LAPD, and IRS pursuit as a voice ID, toolmark “tree ring” forensics, Las Vegas chip exchanges under $10,000, and a sudden real-estate paper trail turn whispers into testimony. Who flips first—and how do investigators tie it all to the alleged mastermind, Alan Pace? Watch to see how a single fragment and smart financial sleuthing unraveled a tight code of silence and brought a record-setting robbery into the light. #TheFBIFiles #DunbarHeist #AlanPace #ArmoredCarRobbery #TrueCrime #LosAngeles #FBI
