The FBI have recovered one of the gold bars stolen in a $5 million armored truck robbery in North Carolina
last month.
Investigators say the location the bar was found - somewhere in South Florida - has provided them with a big break in the case.
'This confirms that there is a South Florida nexus to this,' Justin E. Fleck, supervisory special agent of the squad leading the
investigation, told ABC News.
'We believe that additional gold bars from the robbery may still be in South Florida and we continue to need the public’s help in
solving this crime.'
The highway heist occurred on March 1 in Wilson County, almost halfway into the truck's journey from Miami to Boston.
Police have previously said they suspected it was an inside job because the 18-wheeler truck - owned by transport company TransValue -
pulled over when one of the two armed guards on board 'felt sick'.
