Caracas - A Venezuelan armoured security van guard who was rewarded for fighting off a hold-up last month became the country's most wanted robber this week when he disappeared with $5.6 million in cash.
Mr Alexander Ugas (24) jumped with the money from the armoured bullion van which was transporting the cash shipment to Caracas on Tuesday after picking it up at Maiquetia airport off a flight from Miami, Venezuelan newspapers reported yesterday. They described it as one of the biggest heists in the history of the oil-rich but poverty-plagued nation.
