It was reported that the armoured truck’s door flung open, leaving a trail of scattered US$20, which is around RM83.67 bills on the highway.
According to Malay Mail, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was alerted of the incident by members of the public on Friday morning (November 19th). CHP and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) added that some motorists had gotten off their vehicles to snatch the money.
However, the authorities warned that those who took the money need to return it or face a possible criminal charge.
“Many of the motorists returned the money immediately to the officers, however, there were motorists observed driving from the scene with stolen money.
CHP would like to thank those motorists who have already returned the money to their local CHO office and remind the public to do the right thing and return any money they found on the freeway.
It was literally raining money…
