Which one of you dunnit? $4.8M in gold stolen on I95 in NC

[dos poptarts]

 

Armed robbers stole about $4.8 million in gold bars on Sunday from an armored truck traveling north along Interstate 95 from Florida to Massachusetts, authorities said Monday.

The two security guards working for Transvalue Inc. of Miami reported pulling off to the side of the interstate about 6:30 p.m. Sunday after their armored truck began having mechanical problems in Wilson County, the sheriff's office said.

IMHO, at least one of the drivers is in on the theft.

(Panda says he's drunk and in Canada? hmmmmmmm)

 

Sounds similar to the Loomis heist. I was on the Federal Grand Jury in '98 that overheard much of the evidence. They couldn't stop themselves from spending money and the wife told stores and the bank that the money (cash still wrapped) was from her husband signing to the be the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys (not as if Aikman had retired yet). If she had said the Browns or Chargers no one probably would have noticed.

I think it's an inside job. They passed right by several truck stops at the 105 and 106. Kenly is 107. It happened at the 114. Rock Ridge is 116 and has two gas stations at the exit. It doesn't make sense to me.

There will be a braniac one or two steps removed from the theft that has a rich uncle die in a week or so.

The only thing I know about is a spice truck that over turned in Selma and dumped cinnamon all over the god damned place.

I mean you basically have to have a millionaire drive an armored truck full of gold for it NOT to be an inside job.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a driver.  A mechanic could do something cause the vehicle to breakdown at some point and have others follow the truck.

I finally got around to reading about this. There is so much moved by truck it would blow most minds. How do you think the military gets its weapons? Drug companies ship? In NC a high value shipper is Epes. They move cigarettes all over the country

A friend of mine saw Remington loading ammo into a Pepsi trailer. I guess it makes sense to transport high value items in inconspicuous trailers.

Ammo falls under class 1 hazmat. It would be labeled on the outside. Probably a back haul, took Pepsi locally but no Pepsi to bring back so pick up some ammo and drop it at a warehouse
