An armored truck carrying approximately $4 million worth of gold and silver was robbed Sunday by three armed men.

The truck had reportedly pulled off of I-95 in North Carolina due to mechanical problems when three armed men robbed the truck at gunpoint.  The guards' hands were tied and they were forced to walk into a nearby wooded area. The suspects escaped in a white-colored van according to ABC11.

The gold and silver shipment was being transported from Florida to Massachusetts.
