$1 Million, Driver, Boyfriend Sought In Las Vegas Armored Truck Heist

LAS VEGAS - Authorities are searching for an armored truck driver and her boyfriend who disappeared with $1 million in cash. The heist was the third involving an armored truck in Las Vegas in the last 10 months.

"We're not going to eliminate foul play at this time, but all indications point to an embezzlement theft by Misty and her boyfriend," Police Lt. Mike Hawkins said, referring to Brinks Inc. employee Misty Leann Smith, 23, and 29-year-old Anthony Frisco.

The armored truck was found abandoned Tuesday night not far from where the vehicle disappeared hours earlier. A few thousand dollars, mostly in change, was left inside the truck, Hawkins said.

Police and FBI agents said Smith's rented car is also missing, and a search of the motor home they shared indicated they both left together.

Smith was last seen inside the truck by another Brinks guard, who stopped inside a store for about five minutes and emerged to find the truck gone.

No one has been arrested in two earlier robberies.
