MIAMI -- Two men are facing federal charges after the theft of a box of gold bars at Miami International Airport that investigators say appears to have been an inside job.
The FBI says 47-year-old Marco Cruz of Hialeah used his position as an airport fleet service clerk to take the box containing seven bars worth about $625,000. The bars were part of a shipment of six boxes of gold that arrived May 14 in Miami from Ecuador.
Authorities say the theft was captured on airport surveillance cameras. They also say they found one stolen bar and $200,000 in cash during a search of Cruz's home. Thirty-eight-year-old Ramses Llufrio, also of Hialeah, is also charged with receiving one of the bars.
Court records did not list attorneys Friday for Cruz or Llufrio.
