That's a lot of coin for the modern day Robin Hood to be toting around. This hilarious and stupid crime took place in Philadelphia, PA and I guess people will be on the lookout for some folks who buy everything with dimes. It will be like, "sir, why are you giving me 300 dimes to pay for this taquito lunch special??" 6 ABC News had the details on the suspects and their crime:
Investigators tell Action News they are looking for as many as six suspects in this theft.
The discovery was made when police responded to a call around 6 a.m. Thursday.
The tractor-trailer, which was parked in a Walmart parking lot on the 4300 block of Byberry Road, contained about $750,000 worth of dimes.
Police on the scene say an estimated two million dimes, worth $200,000, were stolen.
Police believe the suspects got away in a white Chrysler 300 with tinted windows and a dark-colored pickup truck. The suspects were seen wearing all black and gray sweatshirts.
When officers first arrived to the scene, dimes were found scattered from the Walmart parking lot to Woodhaven Road.
The truck driver picked up the dimes from the Philadelphia Mint on Wednesday but then went home to get some sleep before a long drive to Florida.
"This is common practice - to pick up a load going to Florida and go home for the night, get to sleep, and get on the road in the morning," said Capt. Jack Ryan of Northeast Detectives.
