Police Hunt for Woman Who Disappeared with $10 Million in Cash from Armored Car Company
Newsweek ^ | 7/11/2021 | GEORGINA JADIKOVSKAALL

Posted on 07/12/2021 7:16:39 PM PDT by simpson96

Awoman who worked for the Loomis armored car company is on the run after disappearing with nearly $10 million in cash.

Yasemin Gundogan of Bremen, Germany worked as a currency-packaging assistant. She fled in late May, police say, with stacks of money she stole from the company.

After failing to locate the woman for several weeks, police issued an arrest warrant this month and filed a notice with Interpol.

Gundogan's job was to pack stacks of paper money into cases for delivery to Loomis customers including banks, cash-counting companies and betting parlors. She allegedly put the stolen loot in locked security bags as usual, but snuck them out of the building where she worked by hiding them in a wheeled bin, covered up with trash, according to the police report. She rolled it outside and unloaded the full bags into a black Mercedes-Benz minivan with stolen license plates.

Gundogan got in the vehicle and disappeared without a trace, and it's not clear whether she acted alone.

For reasons that remain unclear, other Loomis employees didn't notice the cash was missing for four days. And police don't know why surveillance cameras at the Loomis office were off that day.

Loomis executives declined to comment, waiting for the police to finish their investigation and, they hope, crack the case.

Unsure if it was Euros, but if this was in US currency even in $100 bills it would weigh around 220lbs. (each bill is around one gram) This would be more than a freezer full of cash.

Unmarked bills?

Good point. Also lower denominations would be good. Be interesting to see if she's covered those bases.

You can tell how serious they are, issuing an arrest warrant in JULY.

I alway think of this when that sort of question comes up.

I was stationed in the Azores, 1979/80.   The currency was the Portuguese Escudo.   On base we still used Dollars at the PX and Commissary.   A heavy-set rough-cut guy (mobster?) nicknamed Tony the Scoot man, stopped almost every day at every duty station on base and offered to swap for Dollars on an even exchange rate if anyone need Escudos to pay rent off base, eat dinner at a restaurant, or even just to go shopping in Praia da Vitória, the little town near the base.   Tony would box up the dollars and send them to mainland Portugal where his cohorts would convert them for a better exchange rate back into Escudos.   If that is not a money launder's dream...

All this woman had to do would be to go back to Turkey and sell the loot in bulk for Turkish lira.   Then it's up to the person she sold it to, to worry about putting the money back into circulation.

Probably she found them stealing, they killed her and wiped the cameras.

I see a movie in the making already.

I watched a German movie a long time about a member of Red Army Faction who committed many crimes...Like killing a police officer and committing armed robberies...Red Army Faction was a terrorist group in West Germany...

It was THE LEGEND OF RITA...

Hey, maybe the same guys who were supposed to watch Jeffrey Epstein also worked at her bank, for a cut.

Well, at least we can honestly say that she is a really “stacked” woman thanks to all her work at the bank.

Must be the same detective that works terrorist cases. “The alleged gunman ran through the mall on a killing spree shouting allahu akbar. Detectives were unsure of the motive.
