Benton Fraser RCMP and Ray Vecchio can handle the investigation.

almost 2 tons moved at once isnt an easy task. someone on the inside had to pull some strings, and CCTV seen it all. there are not too many places these days that dont have cameras...

Was that wrong?

Should they have not done that?

"The airport is often relied on to transport gold"

This was either written by some guy in India, or an AI bot. Journalism is dead.

Look for a bunch of trucks driving through any nearby aqua duct construction. I’ve seen this before. The 21st president is Chester A Arthur.

The police are on the lookout for an Asian man wearing a Bowler and driving a classic Rolls Royce Phantom III.

Check all Dung Beetle Party offices on Capitol Hill. It has to be there in one of them. Also check FJB’s Corvette garage.
