"Money Bags" are usually white and are made of a plastic material.. Also called "Deposit Bags" for the respective banks.
Money is always placed in these bags and sealed before given to the security company only for them to drop in the bank's "deposit box".
The Sentinel Van had just collected a "Raise" from a particular company and was marked for robbery by a certain "crew" of bandits.
Because these van ALWAYS have a "stereo-type" schedule... they can be easily targeted and planned for robbery.
Especially since this company Does Not have bullet proof vehicles etc.
Just some "old" men (with a small pistol in their waist) moving around with millions, in either a old breakdown Bedford truck or a regular panel van...

Generally from what I've experienced, opening up the PBR in an emergency/ traffic gridlock situation never works. Only helps to expand the gridlock to all roads which can't be wise.

Stupid insensitive comment. Walk a mile in the dead man shoes before you brand him a "kornt". When a man have to be a breadwinner for his family he does what he has to. You woulda prefer he stand up and ask for handouts or rob somebody?
Hope none of your family falls victim to violence.
