Article: Bank Security Van Guard On Run With £10m

A French bank security guard is on the run after vanishing with £10m of cash in his armoured van.



Police have launched a manhunt for security guard Tony Musulin, 39


The suspect, named as Tony Musulin, made off with the cash while his two colleagues were collecting more money from a bank.

Police raided the suspect's apartment to find it empty, without bed sheets and with no food in the fridge.

All major airports out of France are on alert for the fugitive and border controls have been notified, a police spokesman said.

Lyon prosecutor Xavier Richard said the 39-year-old suspect appeared to have acted alone and prepared his escape in advance.

The suspect is a single man without children and had worked for the company, Loomis France, for 10 years.



Guard vanished in Lyon


It is understood Musulin had an exemplary work record for Loomis, which specializes in transporting money and valuables.

His own bank accounts have been cleared, investistigators said.

The driver had picked up the money on Thursday at the Banque de France branch in Lyon with two other security workers.

They then stopped at another bank and while his colleagues were inside, the driver made his escape.

The vehicle was recovered several hours later in an isolated location near railway lines, with the cash gone.

Mr Richard said the stolen money was in new bills and investigators have no record of the numbers.

As no violence was involved in the theft, Musulin risks only three years in jail if caught and charged.

Here in the states you do at least 20yrs in federal prison. I would just about turn myself in, do the 3yrs, and walk out a very wealthy mofo!!

I hope he gets away with it we have bank chiefs here and look at what they have got away with.Tony Musulin could have been planning this for years and with no immediate family he will be harder to find he can just disappear.In saying that if he gets caught /hands himself in he will get 3 years and be back out by the age of 43 with 10 million in his wallet
