They came into some sleazy money.

Bags full of cash fell off a Brinks Home Security Company truck as it drove through a Chicago suburb last week — leaving over $300,000 in cash in the hands of sticky-fingered locals, according to a report.

The moolah hauler’s back door became ajar by “unknown means” as it rolled through the Oak Park neighborhood of the Second City on Tuesday — dropping three cash-filled bags onto Austin Boulevard, according to NBC.

Brinks claims that between 50 and 100 Chicagoans capitalized on the money mishap — making a mad cash-grabbing dash and fleeing the scene, the report stated.

Approximately $300,000 was swiped from those bags, the company claimed, according to the report.

No arrests have been made, the Village of Oak Park told the outlet.
