Santamaria is wanted for his alleged involvement in the robbery of a tractor-trailer carrying precious metals traveling from Miami to Boston in March 2015. Santamaria and two robbers, Adalberto Perez and Roberto Cabrera (both incarcerated), allegedly put a tracking device on the TransValue Inc. truck that was transporting gold bars, then caused noxious fumes to fill the cabin so that the driver would have to pull over (in North Carolina). Santamaria allegedly was a gunman during the robbery in which he allegedly bound and dragged victims into the woods, transferred the gold bars worth almost $5 million to their vehicle and fled. FBI tells us an inside person who cooperated with law enforcement (and was never charged) tipped off robbers to the truck and gold. Santamaria allegedly has about $1.6 million of the share.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000
