A plane that was flying from Miami, Florida to Chile was carrying $32.5 million and was supposed to be transported by a local security provider. At around 7:50am, 10 people broke into the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago with the intention of pulling off a million-dollar heist of the money in this shipment. The robbery ended with a shootout between the robbers and the DGAC aviation agency in Chile. This left two dead, one of the robbers and a DGAC Airport Security Official. The robbers were said to have entered with high-capacity firearms and 3-4 trucks with a very well-thought-out plan. Unfortunately, this isn't the first instance of organized crime in Chile. Numbers have spiked in recent years with similar heists and robberies. This robbery is still under investigation, but there is no word on the other robbers and what happened to them.
