You’re a bot. Commenting the same thing on every video
It is
With a classic host.
It's not their original content, fbi files has their own channel and has every episode posted for free
Rest assured, its the narrative that makes these episodes so magnetic.
These are old and have been around for a while but still worth watching again
This is hard to watch, good to see they did not get away with this horrific crime.
It’s amazing how these agents were able to link these men to the heist. Good old fashioned police work back in 1977, when the tools that were available to them then is far different from today. These men are MONSTERS!!!
i remember this episode since it debuted on the discovery channel way back when. the couriers were unaware the poland brothers were fake cops. michael and patrick poland should've gone off the grid, but they thought they'd get away with it, which made it easy for the fbi to track them down.
Old Fashioned because it was 1977
Agreed. That was real detective work. Back before major corporations,law enforcement and the Federal government were tracking every citizen, real forensics were all that law enforcement had. It was a real battle of wits; good guys vs bad guys.
@@bilinguru well 45yrs ago I would consider old fashioned. Yeah
They have been executed
I worked inside a state prison for over 5 years. I promise you, there is absolutely NOTHING worth while the risk of being sent to one of these prisons. Absolutely NOTHING! Even the food sucks...Every day...
I lived inside California state prison’s for 4 years and two months in at 18 out at 22. Was the best thing to happen to me. I guess California is just better than Arizona in the department of corrections.
uhm, the whole point of going to prison is it should feel like a punishment surely??? you're sent there because you've done something wrong. so why should it end up feeling like a holiday?
@@karimmelikian934 Some people were send there when they were young and learn the system, and also learn their lesson so they dont come back. These 2 brothers have been dead a long time ago tho.
russell not only do you open our minds and eyes you keep them open. thanks for your analysis
Respect for the investigators and prosecutors tenacity, amazing people.
Yeah sure..ua-cam.com/video/iR4vYKaCi0g/v-deo.html
@@seedplanter7173 I watched that. I can’t see how the fbi could fake robberies with murder victims and grieving families. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all to know they set up certain to solve for the cameras.

When he smiled, it sends shivers down my spine.
Scary, very scary
"I've been waiting for someone to come and talk to me"
I'm pretty sure that guy should've called the FBI 😂
No because then they won't believe you or accuse you.
This was narratated and depicted very well
All episodes are
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.
You know you’re a fan of a channel when you hit the 👍 before watching lol!

Absolutely the truth!
I do it so I know if I've seen it before. Haha
@@wmangusbarter2907 hey! Same here 😂🔥
True
This guy says ' new York ohfis!" I like this dude. The best lullaby
No matter how many of these I watch, the guy flying out the window during the intro always gets me somehow.
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.
Really you couldn't put two and two together?
Location location they same😂
Naaaaah, I bet it was a Watergate thing 😘
@@constitutionalli7522 Or they were looking for Jimmy Hoffa.
Ooooh! Good point!
these 2 were horrible humans, they got to live to long but at lease they were finally dealt with.
That was amazing the FBI was able to track the canvas bags back to the manufacturer.
They were probably envolved and had to give it up or get exposed.
@@ellenl.5581 that's a stupid comment it's ridiculous
I wonder how many murders hefty and duck brand duct tape have been involved in - I'm surprised their whoooole coooompanies are not in prison LOL 😂
Theses shows are so detailed more than anything on TV right now
I live in Australia the tv is bad really bad
I'm addicted to theses
This was a happy ending. Justice was served. Sweet!
So basically that poor guard invested in a helluva watch that helped solve his murder❤
what a tragic endings.. both victims were weeks before retiring..😫😫😓😓
It's bullshit. ua-cam.com/video/iR4vYKaCi0g/v-deo.html
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wonder if there will be an episode on surrounding Mike Lindell at the Hardee’s drive through??? 😂
Hahaha good one
The first gas station he went to he found a major clue, and the last bag shop he found a major clue. Crazy how things work out
Don’t believe everything you see on TV. I’ve never heard of a bag shop.
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath maybe they meant bag lady
Good old fashioned police work. Great episode.
Great program. Thanks for posting.
When a bundle of money goes missing in Arizona, the FBI is on the trail. To make matters worse, the two guards hired to protect the cash are gone, too.
To make matters worse the guards are missing too. Well I feel people missing or dead is more important than $$$ missing. But that's just me
I feel bad for all the families involved in this despicable crime.
what u for sorry hello they new
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.
Watched every episode on FBI FILES channel started this year, one of the best I discovered... also glad I found this channel Cuz they upload other documentaries from FBI FILES. LUV IT😍👍.
All the respect and admiration for the prosecutor and his team who worked hard to resuscitate the case and led to the execution of these two monsters.
@@_Meng_Lan an eye for an eye...if a man steals with his left hand ,cut off his left hand... these cases where an innocent person has been killed are largely due to another man's will to overlook evidence or to make up evidence in order to railroad an innocent man, therefore it is those men that will have to answer too God on what they have done. 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. Why should we house feed and have the burden of a person that had proved themselves not worthy .And has to be supervised 24 hours 365 days ...And so on.if you lived on an island where you had your loved ones and one went around murdering them,would you just catch the murderer and tie him up?
Shut your mouth . Keep your nonsense for yourself ...the bible is corrupted ...you kill somebody, you dont deserve to breath the air of this planet . Good riddance
@@_Meng_Lan Your 2000 year-old fairy tales are garbage.
Crazy how close they were to getting away.
It just blows my mind how big of an idiot that guy was to use fake names for all purchases and then not to use the same fake name on the tow receipt. Better yet, don't get stuck and need to call a tow truck in the first place.
The older i get, the more i believe in an ‘eye for an eye’
Same here!
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind!
@@gorillaguerillaDK no, not really. It would teach some up and coming ne’er do wells (hopefully) a lesson. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. There, I fixed your comment for you! 😘
@@gorillaguerillaDK well that would mean 1/2 the world is blind now..... And it's not!!
I believe that the only way to cure pedophiles is to execute all pedophiles to protect the children. Rapist are monsters that are out to destroy the souls of their victims.
All the respect, the members of the FBI and for the rest of team .
These case was the most challenging case that i have ever heard in my mind.
But once for all there's so much lessons.......that we may have learned.

sooooo... with all this money and time that they spent on travel, following the van for a year, modifications to a rental car, research, guns, disguises , they probably couldve started a business and worked and make that money without the murder and the death penalty and all
Except that those kind of monsters have insatiable appetite for money and fame
Not if the one killed is part of your family.
It's worth every red cent.
Thanks for the upload for my September 2022 birthday week!
Why did the tow truck guy sit around waiting for the law to come find him?
The FBI then and the FBI today. Totally different
I dont know how anybody could do this without being guilt riddled
its easy really

@@davidb2206 it blows my mind that you said because i was just thinking the exact same thing.
Binge watching FBI Files. Love this stuff👌🏾
Mr Jim je ne sais pas l'anglais mais je peu vous dire que vous été le meilleurs des police dans le monde avec votre équipes je vous souhaite bcp de réussite et de pas science et de courage c'est les meilleurs documentaires. Encore bravo
I'm glad they were caught.
INcredible detective work. ,
Do they not make these any more?
Rest in peace, Jim Kallstrom from the Newyak office.

Beautiful story ,rest in peace to the guard that was killed🥲
You meant beautiful ending, not a story ...the story itself is very sad for the victims and thier families
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.
I'm happy they never got AWAY,
SAVAGES.
Mike was in the scouts. He came prepared.
Narrator: ... near the town of Bumblebee.
Me: ooooop- yea that checks out.
Monumental horror. Good work by law enforcement!!!
Wow! I respect very much for the hard work the team put together to find the right crimes.
As a Tracker i understand the true values of old skills
I would never get nervous if the FBI showed up at my house, LOL
ua-cam.com/video/ORabsv0RLI4/v-deo.html
exactly. this case was weak and they knew it. thats why they did the federal case first.
In my 40's I had FBI postal service cops show up @ door looking 4 me & were flabbergasted I answered the door and spoke with them. The person they wanted was me but they didn't know that
Guy used an alias to buy the things they would need, then used his real name at the lake, to rent a boat and to tow the truck, That’s Genius…. 🙄🤦♂️
That’s why they say, Only the smart ones get away… 😂
Have to show an ID to rent. He couldn't use his fake name. He probably thought the tow-truck driver would ask for one, too, and he might have, which would have tipped him off that something was wrong.
For all the planning that these two needed to plan, they sure made a lot of big mistakes.
Is this the same Lake Mead that has been shrinking and they've found 3 sets of human remains so far?
Yup
only a matter of time till lake mead gets completely bone dry. hundreds of feet of water gone due to the extensive drought, and having 6 inches or less of rain per year doesn't help neither.
Aren't they up to 5 now?
@@leigha2814 yes
Absolutely not. Their are Several Lake Mead's
the good old days not the FBI of today
Very well done guys
Well done, Arizona, for carrying it out, on both of these two Walking Evil. If only all the rest of the states would do the same.
Dumb criminals lost their lives over a couple motorcycles... 🤦♂️💀
This one is a CLASSIC....haha, the younger brother with the sunglasses and baseball cap is the lazy STONER of the two, hahaha BUMBLEBEE hahahaaaaa
That was a Loomis armor car robbery. The 2 employee got stopped by a fake police car and got out of the vehicle. After that one of the guards had a heart attacked and died at the scene. They killed the other guard.
They were going to kill both. They wanted no witnesses,
Maybe he was tazed to death
Spending a year to stalk a vehicle, is creepy. Creepy enough to make the hairs on your skin stand.
They'd rather do that than WORK. Sorry subhuman males. Not men.
Amazing that they likely would have never been caught if Poland had used a fake name when signing the receipt with the tow truck driver.
why do you think, he made such a rookie mistake?
@@partyhardplayhardgaming8106 Good Question. Maybe overconfidence
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.
wow,extraordinary work
Should’ve just taken the money and not their lives, stupid robbers.
Please make intro lil longer. I didn't fall asleep.
I think it would be wise to have a armed follow car to watch the surrounding area for danger. radio , All clear. suspicious people ect. Safety.
So instead of 2 guys in an armored truck you want 4 guys and two armored vehicles to transport cash?
In 2022 Cameras on the armored vehicle scanning license plates, tracking vehicles, keeping a record of what's happened would help. Maybe an ai solution.
Not sure that blue lights and sirens are necessary when its a dead body they are going to investigate.
Only regret from them cowards was getting caught
I'm glad justice was done
dont be so happy, this was a very weak case in a different time. it would not turn out the same.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
@Christopher Jacobs I LEARNED CLASSICAL SPANISH, NOT THAT STRANGE DIALECT HE'S PICKED UP !
@Christopher Jacobs HAVE YOU WORKED IT OUT YET SHERLOCK
OR DO YOU NEED MORE CLUES ?
Stan you’re the man!
💋 signed the receipt with his real name? They went out of their way to get caught.
He was pretty stupid.
I lived in Wickenburg AZ at the time, a teenager.
The children were transferred to our school under assumed names which didn't fool anyone, AZ population was small, in the rural areas even smaller, we knew who they were. Talking with them you understood that their parents weren't Brite people.
Have to show ID for the boat rental. He couldn't use his alias. He probably suspected the tow truck driver might ask for it, too, which would have created suspicion he didn't want.
It's truly saddening to comprehend the depths of depravity some people will sink into all for the sake of money. These brothers had family, and each other. Being able to secure the items used in this crime indicates that they were not completely destitute before committing these detestable acts. How disheartening it is when people don't know that happiness and true wealth are not found in dollar amounts, but rather in the love we give and receive.
They’d scored 50 grand (from the kidnapping of a bank manager’s wife) before the purolator armored car robbery 1977.
@@INDLIS Thanks for the info.
One of the detectives said that in this situation the first thing you do is look at the drivers and see if maybe they took off with the money. Uhhhh what??? Do human lives mean less to him than money? He wanted to rule them out as perpetrators before he looked at them as victims and that’s pretty gross. Should’ve been the other way around. Wasted time questioning the spouses right away when they could’ve been putting that time into searching for the victims. Clearly they were more worried about the whereabouts of the money than they were in making sure those employees were safe.
That is death penalty all they way. Husbands. Stupid plan . Poor wives.
And kids!

If there was any forensic evidence in, on or near the van scene, the original Leo’s contaminated ALL of it when they felt it necessary to play lookie-loo before the forensic technicians even arrived !!!
If they hadn't got their pick-up stuck in the lake and even then, if Michael Poland had not signed his own name on the tow truck receipt, they would have gotten away with it. Really pleased they didn't.
Very hard work for agents I can understand.
Amazing investigative work.
PS Lake Meade was beautiful.
It's amazing how the law works...for the criminals. It really seems as if the laws are constructed to aid a law breaker get out of a crime rather than convict.. I think our laws need a complete overhaul
so the fbi search one brothers house, and then the other brother, allowing the first brother to call the second one lol. heres a thought fellas. raid both houses at once so that this cant happen.
They were listening on the phone
@@bradr2142 achieving what. by the time they get to the second brothers house he might have a fire going and be burning all the evidence. seems crazy to me.
