CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police has confirmed that all but one lane of Sunset Road shut down Thursday morning.
Officers say the public should avoid the area around Sunset and Reames roads, located just off Interstate 77, due to an “ongoing matter.”
According to police, an armored car lost a large amount of cash off the back of the truck while driving in the area. Officers told WBTV several people tried to grab the cash but were convinced to give it back once officials showed up.
It’s still unclear how much cash was lost, or how it fell out in the first place. Get the latest information sent to your device by downloading the free WBTV News app.
