In 1950, "The Great Brink's Robbery" happened in which of these American cities?

Shortly before 7:30 p.m. on the cold evening of January 17, 1950, a group of armed, masked men emerged from the Brink's Building at 165 Prince Street in Boston, Massachusetts, dragging bags containing $1,218,211.29 in cash and $1,557,183.83 (est. $29.5 million today) in checks, money orders, and other securities. These men had just committed the "crime of the century," the "perfect crime," the "fabulous Brink's Robbery." At 7:27 p.m. as the robbers sped from the scene, a Brink's employee telephoned the Boston Police Department. Minutes later, Boston police arrived at the Brink's building and the Boston media quickly swarmed into the area.

At the outset, very few facts were available to investigators. According to five employees who were forced to lie facedown at gunpoint, each robber's face wore a Halloween-type mask. The robbers did little talking. They moved with a studied precision which suggested that the crime had been carefully planned and rehearsed.

The "perfect crime" unraveled for the robbers nearly six years later. An accomplice who felt slighted about not seeing his share of the loot from the robbery and trying to smooth out parole violations and a burglary charge with authorities, spilled the beans. On January 12, 1956, just five days before the statute of limitations was to run out, authorities arrested six men in connection with the stunningly spectacular theft. Ultimately, eight of the robbers received maximum sentences of life imprisonment.
