Men Flee From Traffic Stop; Police Find $800,000
Star Tribune Police in Puerto Rico say they discovered $800,000 in cash stashed inside a car after two men ran away during a traffic stop.
Authorities said in a statement that the unidentified men ran into a nearby forest Friday when police stopped the driver and asked for his license. Police said they found the money after seizing the abandoned car.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have taken over the case. Seizures of suspicious cash in Puerto Rico have increased amid a jump in drug trafficking throughout the Caribbean.
If they didn't get a good look at the guys, they still have the car -- they can trace it to the owner or whoever rented it. But what's with the rush to judgement about it being connected to drug trafficking? Maybe the men ran because they just couldn't be late for their appointment. As for the money, gas costs
$3.08 a gallon in San Juan alone. And have you seen price of tolls lately?
