Man Steals $200,000 Worth In Quarters


Story out of Harpersville, Alabama:

A Harpersville man was charged Monday with stealing nearly $200,000 – all in quarters - from Brink's Company, the armored transport service where he had worked, federal authorities announced.

That's nearly 10,000 pounds of quarters – or about the weight of a hippo.

Stephen Lancaster Dennis,  49, was charged with one count of bank theft for stealing $196,000 belonging to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta while he worked as a money processing manager for Brink's at its Birmingham branch in early 2014.

An investigation revealed that on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014, not a scheduled workday for Dennis, he entered Brink's and collected four empty skids and four empty ballistic bags, which he filled with beads. He then placed the skids and the bags inside the coin room. Between Jan. 1, 2014, and Feb. 20, 2014, his last day of employment at Brink's, Dennis stole the 784,000 quarters totaling $196,000. Cont.
