RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Armed robbers stole $4 million in gold on Sunday from a truck traveling north along Interstate 95 from Florida to Massachusetts, authorities said Monday.
The two security guards working for Transvalue Inc. of Miami reported pulling off to the side of the interstate about 6 p.m. Sunday after their vehicle began having mechanical problems in Wilson County, the sheriff’s office said. [snip]
They were then approached by three armed men driving a white van who ordered the guards to lie on the ground, tied their hands behind their backs and then marched them into nearby woods. The robbers then unloaded barrels filled with gold and made their getaway, according to a statement.

Inside job.
Access to truck (fuel tank perhaps), knowledge of schedule and route...

Yeah, I’m thinking inside job.
Someone had access to the van. They rigged it to have mechanical problems at the right point. Either a part that would reliably wear out in x miles or possibly a wireless remote. And then they followed the target in their white van.

Darn it!
That gold was to pay my grandmother’s February heating bill.

If it’s an inside job then the “mechanical problem” does not even need to be real.

“robbers then unloaded barrels filled with gold” $4M in gold wouldn’t even fill a 5 gal. bucket.

Deputy Fife accidentally let the planned route slip out. A classic episode that one was. I wonder if any of the guards had a Thompson. After all, Barney had one.
