The Police is now urging people who took cash from the scene to return the money.
“It’s theft of mislaid property,” East Rutherford police Detective Lieutenant Mike Gianscaspro told WABC-TV. “So we’re not looking to charge anybody, we’re just looking to get the money back to Brinks.”
Police said that one of the locks on the truck’s door was malfunctioning and hence the spill. An audit has been set to calculate how much money was lost.
