지금 전세계가 Coronavirus Pandemic으로 각나라에서는 Outdoor activity는 물론, 거리를 통행할 경우 안전거리유지(Social distancing) 여부를 확인하는 Officer들이 눈을 붉히고 점검하고 있는, 정부의 노력을 비웃기라도 하듯이, 금괴를 비행기를 동원하여 도적질해간 희대의 Robbery가, 멕시코 소재의 Canadian 광산회사, Alamos Gold Inc 소속의 한 광산에서 발생했다.
Canada의 광산회사, Almos Gold Inc.사의 발표에 의면, 멕시코의 Mulatos광산에서 채취한 금괴를 비행장 활주로에서 비행기에 실을려고 운송중, 갑자기 한떼의 강도들이 나타나, 이들을 제압하고, 금괴를 움직이는 순간, 그들이 타고갈 경비행기가 착륙하여, 도적질한 금괴를 싣고 유유히 비행장을 떠난 강도사건이 있었다고한다. 중무장한 5명의 강도들이, 금괴를 비행기로 운반 하고있던 Security Guards를 무장해제하고, 무릎꿇리고 강탈했다고 한다.
거의 동시에 Cessna-206 경비행기가 착륙하더니, 10분안에 강도들은 금괴를 비행기에 싣고, 강도들과 함께 이륙하여 산악지역으로 날아가 버린것이다.
Alamos회사의 여자대변인 Rebecca Thompson씨의 설명에 의하면, 마치 영화속에서나 있을법한 강도사건으로 다친 사람은 없었으며, 다른광산회사 Mineria Penmont사에서도 몇주전헤 강도사건이 있었다고 설명해주었다. 그녀는 설명하기를 Mulatos 회사는 이번에 강도맞은 금괴에 대해 보험회사에서 손실을 지불해 준다고 했다.
캐나디언 National Bank의 분석가 Mike Parkin씨가 이번에 강도당한 2,600온스의 금괴(Gold와 Silver합금)가 도두 맞았다고 설명하고 있으나, Rebecca Thompson대변인은 이에 대해 확인을 하지 않고있다.
이뉴스를 보면서, 마치 한편의 영화를 보는 스릴을 상상해 본다. 참 대단한 강도들이고, 경비행기가 어떻게 그시간에 맞추어 착륙했고, 감쪽같이 싣고 도주했느냐? 하는 점이다. 믿어야하나 ?
TORONTO --
Canadian mining firm Alamos Gold Inc. reports that a group of armed
robbers intercepted gold dore bars on the runway at its Mulatos mine
site in Mexico, then staged a dramatic escape in a separate light
aircraft.
In a statement in Spanish, Alamos's Mexican subsidiary Minas de Oro Nacional says five heavily armed people subdued security guards who were loading the bars for transport on a plane on Wednesday morning.
At the same time, it says, a light plane, described as a "Cessna-206 type," landed, and within 10 minutes the aircraft, the armed group and the bars were airborne and headed towards the mountains.
Alamos spokeswoman Rebecca Thompson says no one was hurt in the dramatic robbery, adding another mine, owned by Mineria Penmont, a subsidiary of Fresnillo, was robbed a few weeks ago.
She says the Mulatos loss is covered by insurance.
In a report, National Bank analyst Mike Parkin says 2,600 ounces of dore bars, an alloy of gold and silver, were taken, but Thompson could not confirm that figure.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 9, 2020.
