$600,000 dug up in Fontana backyard
FONTANA - Los Angeles police and FBI agents on Wednesday dug up the Fontana backyard of an armored-truck driver convicted of pulling off a $1-million theft, and recovered about $600,000.

Agents recovered the immense pile of carefully wrapped $20 and $100 bills in a massive bin after excavating the yard of the suburban home in the 9300 block of Marcona Avenue, said Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman told the Los Angeles Times.

The home was owned by Cesar Yanez, one of the two armored-truck drivers who carried out a scheme last year to slip more than $1 million out of the stacks of cash they ferried from a Bank of America distribution center in downtown Los Angeles to locations across Southern California.
