A security guard in a cash pickup run took advantage of a newly hired colleague to make off with millions in cash. The heist happened on Oct. 8 in Tainan. The security guard distracted his colleague and took off in the company’s armored vehicle, from where he stole NT$14.5 million in cash. Police have arrested four suspects but it is thought a fifth accomplice is still at large.

The main suspect drove the armored truck to Section 3 of Jiankang Road. He told his colleague that they should split up, claiming there were many tasks to complete in the area. When his colleague left, he got on the armored truck and drove off.

He distracted the other security guard and fled in the armored truck, which he abandoned on Yongcheng Road. He stole more than NT$14 million in cash from inside the vehicle. We have tracked suspects to various locations in Taichung and Tainan. Four have been taken into custody and the stolen cash, vehicles, and other evidence have been collected.

The senior security guard drove the cash-loaded truck to a secluded area on Yongcheng Road, in the South District. He packed up NT$14.5 million and escaped on a scooter he had parked in the area in preparation for the heist. Authorities have recovered NT$12.55 million from the loot. Four suspects have been detained to be held incommunicado on suspicion of occupational embezzlement and violations of the Money Laundering Control Act. The investigation continues to determine the motive, whether other insiders were involved and where the remaining stolen money went.
