In California, people were arrested picking up bills scattered from a cash collection vehicle
In the US state of California, a cash collector vehicle scattered money on the highway. This was reported by KSWB-TV.
The doors of the van carrying money suddenly opened while driving, and numerous bills spilled out onto the roadway. According to one eyewitness, there were thousands of dollars on the road. Passing cars began to stop, and soon the highway was completely closed. Some drivers caught flying money, others filmed what was happening on their mobile phones.
The police arrived almost an hour later. Two people, a man and a woman, picking up the scattered bills, were arrested at the scene. The rest of the drivers managed to escape with the money, but they also run the risk of going to jail. They are expected to be found from video recordings of the incident that appeared on social networks. In addition, the collectors of the scattered bills were removed by the driver of the collector car.
“If you find the money on the highway, then it does not belong to you,” said Sgt. Of the California Highway Patrol Curtis Martin. “This is money from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, this cash-in-transit vehicle and the bank. They need to be returned. ” He added that he cannot guarantee that the people who returned the money will be able to avoid punishment.
Earlier it was reported that in the American city of Indianapolis, Indiana, several bags of money fell out of the collectors' car. People passing by filled their pockets with bills until the police arrived.
