UPDATE: Police say a thief stole around $100,000 worth of dimes from a truck in Northeast Philly, leaving coins scattered across the Walmart parking lot at Franklin Mills. FrancesWangTV has the latest details:
The truck driver had picked up a load of dimes worth a total of $750,000 from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia and parked the vehicle in the Walmart parking lot of Franklin Mills along the 4300 block of Byberry Road Wednesday night. The driver was supposed to take the dimes to Florida but left the truck unattended in the parking lot, police said.
“Common practice with drivers to pick up loads. He was going to Florida,” Philadelphia Police Captain John Ryan said. “They park the truck overnight to get on the road in the morning.” At some point overnight into Thursday morning, someone used a bolt cutter to break into the truck and stole a portion of the dimes. When police arrived at the scene around 6 a.m. Thursday, they noticed dimes scattered all over the parking lot. Investigators estimated the unidentified thief stole about $100,000 worth of dimes.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.

The truck that was broken into is owned by the transportation service Keen Cargo. NBC10 reached out to Keen Cargo and U.S. Mint for comment. We have not yet heard back from them.
