LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Federal agents dug up about $600,000 buried in the backyard of a Los Angeles-area home once occupied by a former armored truck driver who has admitted to helping steal more than $1 million, federal law enforcement said on Wednesday.

The money, in denominations of $100 and $20 and contained in plastic containers, was excavated from beneath a patch of trees in the former home of Cesar Yanez, in Fontana, east of Los Angeles, the FBI said.

Yanez pleaded guilty to conspiracy and bank robbery in connection with the 2014 heist of an armored car, the FBI said. He was sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison.

Yanez and another armored truck driver, Aldo Esquivel Vega, of Pomona, California, were transporting a large shipment of cash for Bank of America in June, 2014, when they stopped in a Los Angeles parking lot and electronically opened the doors, according to federal officials.

More than $1 million was removed and ferried off in a trash can, authorities have said.

$85,000 was recovered at the same Fontana home[....]bulk of the money has been missing for the past year[....]
nvestigation by agents and information from a source led authorities to the backyard site.

She said authorities were still working to uncover where the remainder of the missing money, some $400,000, had been spent or hidden.

Vega is awaiting sentencing for his role in the heist. Two other people, including Yanez's wife, are awaiting trial for helping to facilitate the crime.
 
Why O' why can't I have the luck of buying a home with a hidden treasure like this? Also, am I incorrect in thinking that if you get sentenced without the money there is no reason to talk? When you get out its yours? It had to be the dumb wife. Doesn't she know she will still do time and come out broke? :wait:
 
They weren't that good since they got caught. It's wrong but I often root for the bank robbers. Not these guys though.

Hopefully you weren't rooting for that misspelled face tattoo loser from back in August. Most thievs are morons IMO.
