Reward offered for suspect in heist of $4.8M in gold bars from truck on I-95

The truck shipment of 275 pounds of gold bars was intercepted on March 1, 2015, by three armed men as it traveled north on I-95 near mile marker 144. The thieves restrained the driver and fellow guard, placed traffic cones near the truck and led the two guards into some nearby woods before taking off with 275 pounds of gold bars in a white van.

Several motorists called 911 after seeing the uniformed men running into the highway with their hands bound, motioning for help.

Pedro Santamaria, 56, of Miami, is wanted on charges of conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery and conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence in connection with the heist.

The FBI is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

Santamaria is described as a dark-skinned Latino, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 180 pounds. He has brown eyes, black hair and a scar on his left forearm.

Authorities said he is known to have ties to California, Florida, Louisiana and Texas and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Adalberto Perez, 48, was arrested in March 2016 in connection with the robbery.
