Being in Denver, that particular example may be related to someone in the cannabis industry. The bank lockouts and cash build up that's common in that industry make individuals in it prime targets for robbery[1]. With extreme violence[2] involved in some cases, it'd make sense for those stuck in this situation to invest in things like an armored vehicle if feasible.
