And while the COMPOL is telling kilo fishers to turn in those bricks, a Belizean in Los Angeles is accused of helping himself to four gold bars valued at a quarter million US dollars.
News reports out of Los Angeles are that cargo handlers, 38 year old Belizean American Marlon Moody and a co worker, 35 year old Brian Benson are accused of stealing gold bars from an air shipment.
The bars weigh about 2 pounds each and were taken last year at Los Angeles International Airport and later recovered, according to he Feds.
The pair worked for a private company that provides ground cargo handling services at the airport. The bars were sent from Australia to New York but a box containing 25 gold bars went missing.
Moody then allegedly found that box near the warehouse and took four bars, according to the indictment. Moody gave Benson one gold bar, then allegedly buried two of the bars and gave another to a relative. All four were recovered. Moody and Benson are charged with conspiracy and theft of interstate and foreign shipment.
