The hustle and bustle on the highway had caused at least two accidents, the police said. On videos you can see how cars had to avoid the people rushing around. The service company Brink's did not want to reveal how much money was lost overall. After all, according to the New York Times, $ 6,000 was given by honest detectives to the police.
