Police investigate the scene of a robbery of a tractor-trailer that was broken into at a Walmart parking lot on Byberry Road last week.Police are searching for six men who stole about $200,000 in dimes last week in the overnight heist of a tractor-trailer that was holding roughly $750,000 in coins from the U.S. Mint.
In all, that’s 7.5 million dimes worth $750,000. The coins were being transported from the U.S Mint in Philadelphia and were destined for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, in Miami, Fla., when the driver parked the vehicle and went off to get some sleep, police said. Police do not believe the driver colluded in the theft.The thieves cut a flimsy lock on the back of the truck and entered to find the pallets of dimes inside, said Ryan. Each pallet weighed more than 1.25 tons, or 2,500 lbs.
Surveillance footage shows one of the getaway cars stopping to steal nearby recycling bins, presumably to use to carry their heavy, unwieldy loot, said Ryan.
