The search continues for a suspect who police said was seen on surveillance video stealing a bucket of gold flakes off an armored truck in Midtown Manhattan.
It happened around 4:30 p.m. back on Sept. 29 as the armored truck was parked on West 48th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
The truck was left unattended for a short time, and the suspect jumped on the opportunity.
“The helpers actually left the truck to do a pick up, and the one that was securing the vehicle from the rear stepped away,” Detective Martin Pastor, from the NYPD’s Major Case Squad, told 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa.
Police said the man is seen on surveillance video scoping out the truck, that had its back door open. He then grabs an 86-pound, unmarked and sealed black metal bucket containing $1.6 million-worth of gold flakes, police said.
He lugged the bucket up the street, heading east on West 438th Street toward Third Avenue, making his way through the crowds of people who didn’t notice him carrying the five-gallon pail, police said.

Someone picked a shitty time to go smoke a cig
an 86 pound 5 gallon bucket isn't easy to walk away with, props to that guy and I hope he gets away with it

but really, how could the police track this? wouldn't be too hard to melt it down and sell it a little at a time.
dude just has to go off the grid for a little while

It's going to be hard for an ordinary person to get rid of 86 pounds of gold flakes

You ever watch gold rush baw?
frick... Todd Hoffman will pay them triple what that's actually worth just to pretend he finally got something... likely a smarter investment for him than what he normally does anyways

Melt it and cast it. Easy to do. Any size and shape you like. Many people buy sell and own gold. Lay low for a while and start to cash it in.

He's likely already "off the grid" as he's likely an illegal.

Hopefully, his split that he gets from his accomplice will be enough to tide him over until he finds a new job.

The Mexican was just trying to steel a bucket. The gold was extra.

Bucket was like 60%of his body weight. Sometimes you gotta want it.
