Police seeking coin heist suspects
SYLVIA LIM
Herald Staff Writer

MANATEE - Local investigators said Wednesday they believe they are getting closer to the trail of the robbers who stole $200,000 worth of collector's coins last month.

Two men recently released from federal prison for pulling a similar $1.8 million heist in Nebraska in 1999 top the list of suspects, Manatee County Sheriff's Office investigators said Wednesday. Also, detectives have collected a blood sample from another theft that may yield DNA evidence.

A Southwest Florida couple were on their way home from a coin convention in Orlando when they were robbed at a Bradenton Waffle House on Jan. 7.

A green car stopped behind the couple's silver Mercedes, and three men wearing ski masks jumped out and attacked the man, according to a sheriff's office report. They fought the victim for the key to the car, where two metal briefcases filled with rare coins and gold bullion were stowed.
