Chapter 10 - Catching a desperate corporate thief red handed inside a private bank vault as federal tactical agents surround the building under bright floodlights tonight right now.
At 2:00 AM, Sarah's husband, Richard Vance, attempted to break into a private safety deposit box at a Manhattan commercial bank.
He sought to retrieve two million dollars in bearer bonds before fleeing the country on a private charter flight to South America.
As Richard inserted the vault key, heavy iron security doors slammed shut automatically, locking him inside the reinforced vault chamber.
Bright floodlights illuminated the bank lobby as FBI tactical teams and local police units surrounded the entire city block outside.
"Richard Vance, drop the duffel bag and put your hands on top of your head!" the SWAT commander ordered through a megaphone.
Richard dropped the metallic box in sheer panic, raising his trembling hands as armed officers breached the vault doors and restrained him.
Another desperate attempt by the Vance family to escape justice failed completely, adding federal felony burglary charges to their record.
