A Fairbanks grand jury has indicted four people suspected of stealing a 500-pound safe from a North Pole home.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the safe contained almost $100,000 in coins, jewelry and guns.
The theft was discovered Jan. 22. A man called Alaska State Troopers reporting the stolen safe and the ransacking of his parents’ home.
Troopers determined that thieves pried open the side door of a garage, drove a vehicle inside and used a car jack to lift the safe into the vehicle.
Prosecutors got a tip in the case from a Fairbanks shop.
The owner of Gold Buyers of Alaska notified troopers Feb. 2 that two men had sold him coins.
The owner of the safe identified the recovered coins.
Hundreds of other coins remain missing.
