BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Authorities in Colombia say bandits stole a small airplane and made off with the equivalent of $610,000 dollars it was carrying.
Colombia’s civil aviation says armed men confronted three crew members and a guard as the Piper Seneca landed at a small airport in the northeastern city of Aguachica Wednesday with a load of Colombian pesos it was carrying for a security company.
The robbers then took off in the plane, which was found later about 6 miles (10 kilometers) away, to the south of the city.
