Thieves try to steal gold under rubble
By Philip Delves Broughton in New York
(Filed: 02/11/2001)


EVIDENCE of a daring but failed heist from vaults beneath the
collapsed World Trade Centre was revealed by police yesterday as
workers removed gold and silver valued at £159 million.

Scorch marks around the basement door to the vaults suggested thieves
had tried to break in to steal the precious metals, belonging to the
Bank of Nova Scotia.

The bank denied there was any heist attempt, but police insisted that
at some time during the past fortnight, a blowtorch and crowbar had
been used on the vault's entrance. After the discovery, a video
camera was set up to monitor the area.

Given the difficulty of getting on to the site and down to the vault,
it is suspected the attempt was an inside job.

Hundreds of construction and relief workers are working on the World
Trade Centre site.

The bullion was not the only valuable hoard buried beneath the twin
towers. There were also caches of drugs seized by federal agents,
boxes of FBI evidence - and thousands of Godiva chocolates.
