| ~ regarding the Rodriguez Brothers. |
Charles "Crazy Charlie" Rodriguez and Joseph "Joey" Rodriguez are two extremely violent and infamous armoured car and bank robbers operating in Camden, New Jersey between 1984 and 1998.
History
Little is known of the Rodriguez Brother's early life but they grew up in Camden, New Jersey; an economically poor city well known for its high murder rate where they grew up as petty criminals. Between 1984 and 1989, Charlie was arrested for multiple crimes ranging from drugs possession to making terrorist threats and gained a reputation for being incredibly violent and willing to kill anyone that got in his way. At some point, they decided to make money by robbing banks and armoured car so generated a stockpile of weapons ranging from fully automatic handguns to AK-47s.
