Wilson NC: The Wilson County Sheriff’s Department got a taste of a big money heist today. According to our Wilson County sources, a shipment of over $ 4,000,000,00 was high jacked along interstate 95 around 6:45pm. Apparently a semi truck hauling over 4mil in Gold and Silver had mechanical problems around mile marker 114. While pulling over to check out their damage a white cargo van pulled in along side them. As the two armed security guards got out of their semi, three armed men exited the van and ordered the guards to hit the ground face down. The guards hands were then bound and they were ordered to march into the surrounding wood line. The robbers then went back to the semi and helped themselves to over 4 million in gold that had been transported in barrels.
The gold was being shipped from Miami to Attleboro, Massachusetts by Transvalue Inc. Transvalue is a Miami company specializing in:
International Shipments of Bank Notes
International Shipments of other Valuable Commodities

Transvalue is offering a $ 50,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons involved.
The F.B. I. is on the case. Anyone with information should contact the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office at (252) 237-2118.
