Bomb, Iraqi currency lure FBI into stolen-car case
The FBI is now involved in the theft of a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside. FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism
Oh. Well. That's a relief. Bombs and Iraqi currency, huh? Good thing it's not a terrorist case, no sir ... | The car was reported stolen last week. After the theft, the cars owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car. While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also, said Los Lunas Police Captain Charles Nuanes.
The cars owner pulled the keys out of the ignition of his stolen car and the people in the car fled.
When police arrived, they found the explosive device and less than $1,000 worth of Iraqi cash. We dont know what their intentions were, said Nuanes. We dont know what they were planning on doing with any of this.
But it's not terrorism, nope, nope ... | Police suspect Toby Jaramillo, who is well known to Valencia County law enforcement, was behind the cars theft. Hes in jail charged with stealing another car.
