The GPS ping lied for nine minutes - did anyone stop it in time?

A utility tech finds an armored truck idling and two zip‑tied men; a GPS ping kept Route Seven on course-did anyone stop the breach in time? The GPS ping lied for nine minutes - did anyone stop it in time? In this episode, we follow the nine‑minute window when $2.3 million vanished from an armored truck and the chain of events that made Route Seven vulnerable. The episode traces the people, the cloned signals, and the reconnaissance that led to a movement command carrying valid authentication-so how was the proprietary frequency compromised? Person: Wendy Wilson Person: Jeffrey Hayes Person: Person: Dennis Croft Date: May 2009 Location: Crane Street, Hartwell - A Vantage armored truck on Route Seven was directed off Sutter Avenue by a radio command that carried valid authentication. - The truck’s crew were found zip‑tied against a cinder block wall and the rear doors were open when a Meridian technician arrived. - Vantage’s proprietary frequency allowed only four authenticated credentials per truck; someone obtained or cloned valid credentials. - Three weeks earlier, a breakdown by a van registered to a shell contractor on April 23 provided reconnaissance of Crane Street entrance and sightlines. - The dispatch board continued to show the truck on schedule as its position counter ticked block by block while the theft occurred.
