A high-value FedEx package containing $17,400 in gold and silver coins never reached its destination in Texas, sparking a multi-jurisdictional investigation into a suspected delivery-interception ring.

The arrest of a primary suspect has also raised questions about how easily thieves can get around security measures meant to protect expensive shipments.
