California authorities are looking to identify drivers suspected of helping themselves to piles of cash that flew out of the back of an armored trunk on a freeway in Carlsbad.
The California Highway Patrol began getting calls from citizens about “a large sum of money in the roadway” on a section of Interstate 5, with some reports of drivers hopping out of their cars to collect the bills.
Cops arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of taking some cash after getting stuck on the freeway because their keys got locked in their car while blocking traffic.
Video and photos of the “raining” cash were posted all over social media by Friday afternoon, and authorities are trying to determine motorists’ identities in those images. They are also urging anyone who scooped up some of the ill-gotten gains to return the money within 48 hours “to avoid potential criminal charges.”
“The CHP would like to thank those motorists who have already returned the money to their local CHP office,” the agency said, “and remind the public to do the right thing and return any money they found on the freeway.”
