FBI Arrests Couple Wanted In $7M Heist

Employee Of Armored Car Company And Girlfriend Found With "A Large Sum Of Money"

(AP)  A couple wanted in the disappearence of $7 million in cash and checks from an armored car company was arrested on Saturday in West Virginia, the FBI said.

Roger Lee Dillon, 22, and his girlfriend, Nicole N. Boyd, 24, were arrested by agents from Cleveland, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Beckley, W.Va., early Saturday morning outside Beckley, FBI Special Agent Scott Wilson said.

Wilson said "a large sum of money" was recovered at the time of the arrests. Dillon was an employee of AT Systems International. Two drivers discovered the safes had been cleaned out and called police.

Dillon was charged with bank larceny, and Boyd was charged with aiding and abetting, the FBI said. The FBI is holding a news conference on Monday, Wilson said.

A pickup truck belonging to Dillon was found in a parking lot in Salem, Ohio, after a resident recognized it from news reports, police said. The FBI towed the truck on Thursday.

Officials said the alarm system was deactivated, safes were opened and money to be delivered to banks was gone. Then the alarm system was reactivated.

Dillon didn't show up for work Tuesday, the FBI said.

He began work at AT Systems International's Liberty office less than one year ago, said a representative of Garda, the company that purchased AT Systems in April. AT Systems offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible. Wilson said he didn't know if anyone was eligible to receive the reward because of the arrests.

They were just two dumb, greedy kids. Their biggest mistake was not running real far away really fast after they got the cash. With a little bit more planning they could have been living like royalty in some place like Belize, Costa Rica, etc. They should have obtained passports, made airline reservations, pulled the heist, then they could have gone on a life-long honeymoon. If they''d gotten away with it, then we''d be watching Brad Pitt in a movie about them.

With cases solved this quick, it still amazes me that they cannot find Nicole Brown Simpson''''s killer after all these years.

Without getting into the OJ guilty/not guilty arguement ....

.... stolen money gets more manpower than murder .. life is cheap, stolen money comes out of someones bottom line.

Just to call your attention to the fact that unless you make a good effort, you can''t figure out what is the relation between AT Systems and the money. Seems that the writer of the news assumed, erroneously, that the whole nation knows who or what he/she is writing about.

The FBI caught them. The reward money should be put in a scholarship fund for federal law enforcement agents'' kids if they want to study criminology. The FBI deserves a pat on the back instead of insults. The only people who are sympathetic to criminals are people who have nothing to lose.

@jn4000
they will be spending the next decade in a 5X5 cell, I would consider them pretty stupid

[jn4000]

To the idiot that said their stupid look whos talking. They successfully stole $7 million dollars with the chance to get away. Even though they didn''t have the greatest escape plan I wouldn''t exactly call them stupid.

Mister & Miss "Too Cool For Words." Exactly why are they smiling like they won the Mega Millions lottery? Both just screwed up their lives. Gonna look real good on their resumes. Mom & Dad must be so proud.

"Roger Lee Dillon, 22, an employee at an Ohio armored car company, failed to show up for work after $7 million went missing from company safes on Monday"

I wouldn''t show up for work either if I had suddenly come into 7 million dollars.

Talk bout stupid is as stupid does these two get my Vote for the Gold Stupid achievement award of the Decade

[likeitis5050]

If they were smart they might be dangerous.

[olebd]

They sure look like a happy couple. The dummy should have not cleaned out the safes completely and he should have showed up for work for a while before trying to get away.

FBI: you remember Peterson. Chicago''s police officer''s finest, he claims his wife ran off with another man. SHE HAS BEEN MISSING FOR MONTH NOW!!!

[mcv57]

Hey, FBI. That was quick job done. Why can''t you be just as proficient in finding a body of a wife of Chicago police officer - remember Peterson.

[toolmangler-2009]

These two look like they would try to grow ''enchiladas'' and use chili for fertilizer.

One would think people with $7,000,000.00 could afford better clothes and haircuts.

Their mistake in stealing from a company that services ATMs is they should have copped a clue and done it the legal way:

Charge $2 for every transaction.
