SUSPECT BEING HELD IN $4 MILLION HOLDUP

Three Washington men are being held without bond on charges they robbed a Brinks armored car at Dulles International Airport, abandoned their getaway vehicle and $4 million in booty less than a mile away and returned later to recover the spoils.

A fourth suspect, Kevin Tyrone Baldwin, 21, also of Washington, was ordered to return to federal court today because he failed to hire a lawyer in time for Thursday's detention hearing. He was to be given a court-appointed attorney.

FBI agent Howard W. Luker on Thursday told U.S. Magistrate W. Curtis Sewell the four men, who were arrested two days after the May 30 holdup, ditched their van just minutes after the robbery when they heard sirens and believed "they were being pursued by the police."

Luker said the men "fled by foot across Route 28" and returned that evening to recover two canvas bags containing $4 million in jewelry, Swiss francs and non-negotiable bonds. None of the spoils, including weapons taken from the Brinks guards, has been recovered, he said.

Luker said District police sources have identified the four men - Baldwin, Albert Larry Weaver, 20, Kirk Douglas Greene, 19, and Rudolph Hilton Williams, 18 - as belonging to "an organization loosely known as The 5th and "O" Street Gang.
