Casale was picked-up by Boston Police detectives as part of a round-up of the usual suspects during their investigation of the “Crime of the Century,” the Great Brinks Robbery. After being questioned, Casale was just about to walk out of police headquarters when, unfortunately for Casale, in walked a Cumberland County Deputy Sherriff who happened to be in Boston on an unrelated matter. The deputy recognized Casale, pulled out an old warrant and took Casale back to Portland.
