Last night I head over to Logan Airport here in Boston to pick up TCD Field Analyst and extreme bro, Will McNeal. On the ride in, Will recounted the wild events for me. Basically, as he was getting close to the airport, two cars came ripping right at him down the WRONG side of the highway. He and his buddy pulled off onto the shoulder to avoid an epic crash and the two cars just sped off. As they arrived to return their rental car, they could see that the rental car employees were really shaken and there was broken glass lying around. They soon discovered that men in masks had pulled up in those cars that almost just killed them, beat the crap out of some poor guy and stolen over $500,000 in jewels.
We checked the local Salt Lake City news site last night and here's their take:
Police say two jewelry dealers were targeted by a group of robbers at Salt Lake International Airport Thursday afternoon. It was a dramatic string of events that ended with $500,000 worth of jewels stolen.
An airport spokeswoman says two jewelry dealers were getting ready to board a flight out of town and were returning their rental car. They were carrying a large bag full of jewelry.
Suddenly, two Toyota Camrys pulled up, going the wrong way, and at least five masked men jumped out. They were armed with a knife and took off with the jewels.
Some car rental employees tried to stop the heist and started fighting with the thieves, but the thieves got away.
Here's the link to the local news story and a video. We thank Will for putting his life on the line for a great story.
That is incredible. Glad to hear that McNeal is good to go and that we are still on for antics this weekend.
