Two employees of an armored car company were arrested in connection with the theft of “a large amount of cash” over the weekend, Burbank police said Tuesday.
Hugh Doswell Jr., 28, of Los Angeles and Corlies Jones, 25, of Adelanto were being held Tuesday at the Burbank city jail in lieu of $100,000 bail each. Doswell was arraigned in Burbank Municipal Court on grand theft charges, and Jones was expected to be arraigned today.
Doswell, the driver of the armored car, was arrested Sunday evening after officials at Loomis Armored Inc. reported the theft and police interviewed several employees at the company’s headquarters in Los Angeles.
Jones, who also works for the company, was arrested at his home at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday. Bank documents and cash were found at Jones’ home, police said.
Lt. Bob Giles of the Burbank Police Department said the armored car was picking up cash from automated teller machines in the Burbank area when the theft is believed to have occurred.
“This was an inside job,” Giles said. “We believe there was a conspiracy between the driver and the other employee to commit theft.”
Police did not disclose how much money the armored car was carrying or how much was stolen.
