Anyone See $189,000 Still Missing From Rt. 3 Brink's Truck?

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Nearly $189,000 remains missing after two bags of cash fell out of Brink's armored truck on Route 3 East and blew around the highway Thursday.

Of the $510,000 that fell out of the truck, slightly more than $321,000 has been returned to authorities, said East Rutherford Police Capt. Phillip Taormina. (See related: Nearly $300K Still Missing From Brink's Truck On Rt. 3: Police)

People have dropped off and emailed police video footage taken from phones and dashboard cameras in vehicles that were in the area when the accident happened. Police are reviewing the footage in an attempt to identify anyone who may still have the money.

Anyone who may have money may return it to the East Rutherford Police Department without fear of being charged with a crime. Those who do not return the money could potentially be charged with theft of misladen property if discovered, Taormina said.

Two bags of money, one with $140,000, another with $370,000, fell out of the truck on the eastbound side of the highway at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday after the back door malfunctioned, police previously said.

A video posted on Twitter showed people stopping on the highway, getting out of their cars, and chasing after the money, picking it up. The video went viral. Vehicles stopping on the highway caused multiple crashes, police said. (See related: Video Shows Armored Truck Spilling Cash On Rt. 3, Causing Delays)
