RadioOnFire.com - What would you do if you were driving thru the Harbor Tunnel and you saw cash flying out of the back of an armored truck? Well several drivers experienced that earlier this week when rear doors to an armored Brinks truck bust open, spilling cash in the path of drivers traveling behind it due to what police are now calling a door malfunction.
If you picked up any of the cash, police are offering you immunity. But they say if you don’t hand over the money by Saturday, you will face criminal charges. Those who snatched some of the cash have until Saturday to hand it over. If you did take the money hopefully you have not spend it because there are cameras in the tunnel - and they will find you.
MDTA quickly block off both ends of the tunnel for hours as they retrieve most of the fallen money–but not all of it. Police say cameras inside the tunnel captured parts of the incident, which will allow them to identify those drivers who took cash, if needed.
…Without facing any criminal charges–what they say is a golden opportunity to step up and do the right thing.
“I think it’s a good offer to try and get something back. I’ll be interested to see if many people do turn money back in,” said Stanton.
Those who took cash have until 5 p.m. Saturday to get in touch with MDTA Police and return it. If not, authorities say they’re looking at theft charges–possibly more serious charges–depending how much money they took.
Police say the exact dollar amount of what’s still missing is not available because of the ongoing investigation.
