$4M in gold stolen in roadside heist

Armed men made off with barrels of gold from a truck broken down in North Carolina.

Gold (CEC:Commodities Exchange Centre: @GC.1) worth more than $4 million was snatched from a truck pulled over in North Carolina on Sunday.

The vehicle broke down on Interstate 95 as it took a shipment of gold and silver from Miami to Massachusetts, North Carolina-based WITN reported, citing local authorities. Miami-based transportation company Transvalue had two armed security guards with the truck, but three armed men tied their hands behind their backs after emerging from a white van stopped nearby, authorities said.

They took "several barrels" of gold and drove off. The locks on the truck's back doors appeared to have been cut off, WITN reported.
