PORTLAND — A Portland family made off with nearly $4 million by staging robberies of armored cars, but it didn’t make them happy, prosecutors said.
On Wednesday, the three members of the Cabello family were sentenced, after the mother and son cooperated with the government and testified that the father masterminded the thefts.
Despite the haul from three robberies over 18 years, the Cabellos crammed themselves into a 998-square-foot rental home, worked low-wage jobs, argued over the cash and worried that police would someday knock on their doors, the government said.
Their indulgences included cigars, cookbooks and a used Hummer SUV, the Oregonian reported.
