On February 14, 2006, a group of three, possibly four armed robbers attempted to rob a Dunbar armored car. A shoot out ensued after the car picked up cash from a local Bank of America branch. During the shootout one of the two security guards, the passenger, was hit; however, the bullet did not penetrate his chest as he was wearing a bulletproof vest. The same guard then ran into a local restaurant to call for help. The police quickly arrived and immediately apprehended two of the suspects. They then chased a third suspect through Livingston, Millburn and South Orange, the location where the third suspect would eventually be captured. A day after the shooting, investigators discovered that the driver of the armored car had left the truck unlocked a day earlier, which is the same mistake that allowed one of the robbers to enter the vehicle on the day of the robbery.
