Two Men Steal Thousands of Dollars In Quarters

December 10, 2008 - 7:41am

Two Russian brothers could face charges for allegedly taking part in an organized coin-burglary crime ring.

Longview Police say the men allegedly travel across the U.S., stealing quarters from vending machines or washers and dryers.

Then, they wire the stolen money back to Russia.

When police arrested the men Tuesday, they found more than $3,000 worth of coins in bags.

Longview Police Officer, Kevin Brownlee said, "Officers located quite sophisticated burglary tools, GPS mapping equipment, apartment guides maps to apartments all over the U.S. from Florida to California, L.A. to Oklahoma City.

Police say it's likely there are several other people involved in the crime ring.

The thing is Dollar Bills have serial numbers and is easily Counterfieted but coins are not but the quarters are a desparet way of doing something the people who did this deserves to be in prison for every quarter they stole
