CHICAGO — Ten defendants, including two sets of brothers, face federal charges for conspiring to rob armored trucks and ATMs in the Chicago suburbs, resulting in a total loss of at least $3.8 million.
According to a recently unsealed second superseding indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Chicago, the robbers brandished firearms in eleven robberies and attempted robberies in 2022 and 2023. The heists and attempted heists occurred in Lansing, Ill., Country Club Hills, Ill., Orland Park, Ill., Homewood, Ill., Blue Island, Ill., and Chicago Heights, Ill.
The indictment charges DEVONTE DAVIS, 27, of Chicago; DARRELL SINGLETON, 19, of Calumet City, Ill., and his two brothers, CORRIE SINGLETON, 22, of South Holland, Ill., and ELIJAH SINGLETON, 21, of Calumet City; ANTHONY WILSON, 22, and his brother, AVEON WILSON, 23, both of Gary, Ind.; BRIAN SNYDER, 24, of Chicago; JUSTIN CAIN, 25, of Chicago; PERRY MAPLE, 21, of Chicago; and WILLIAM COCHRAN, 21, of Chicago, with robbery conspiracy and firearm offenses.
One of the robberies occurred on Halloween morning in 2022 when a Brink’s security courier was refilling an ATM in Lansing. Corrie Singleton, Darrell Singleton, and others forcibly dragged the courier into the armored truck at gunpoint and ordered her to open compartments and hand over bags of money, according to a criminal complaint previously filed in the case.
Another of the heists occurred on May 2, 2023, when two guards were picking up money from a bank inside of a grocery store in Homewood. One of the robbers struck a guard in the head with a firearm. The robbers took approximately $1.1 million, all of which was recovered by law enforcement upon the arrests of Davis and Darrell Singleton later that day in Calumet Park, Ill.
Nine of the ten defendants pleaded not guilty to the superseding charges during arraignments this month in federal court in Chicago. They have been ordered detained in federal custody pending trial. Aveon Wilson is considered a fugitive and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. The FBI has issued a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to Aveon Wilson’s arrest and conviction.
The indictment was announced by Morris Pasqual, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Robert W. “Wes” Wheeler, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI. Substantial assistance was provided by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives in Chicago, Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Orland Park Police Department, and several other law enforcement agencies.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elie Zenner, Kirsten Moran, and Simar Khera.
