GOLD BAR RECOVERED FROM ARMORED CAR ROBBERY

Dick Hanscom forwarded this Daily Mail story about the recovery of a gold bar from that armored car robbery a month ago. Thanks. -Editor

Recovered 26lb gold bar The FBI have recovered one of the gold bars stolen in a $5 million armored truck robbery in North Carolina last month.

Investigators say the location the bar was found - somewhere in South Florida - has provided them with a big break in the case.

'This confirms that there is a South Florida nexus to this,' Justin E. Fleck, supervisory special agent of the squad leading the investigation, told ABC News.

'We believe that additional gold bars from the robbery may still be in South Florida and we continue to need the public’s help in solving this crime.'

The highway heist occurred on March 1 in Wilson County, almost halfway into the truck's journey from Miami to Boston.

Police have previously said they suspected it was an inside job because the 18-wheeler truck - owned by transport company TransValue - pulled over when one of the two armed guards on board 'felt sick'.
