The break-in at a Philadelphia parking lot wasn’t a nickel-and-dime case.

The break-in at a Philadelphia parking lot wasn’t a nickel-and-dime case. Just dimes.

Police are looking for whoever broke into a trailer carrying $750,000 worth of dimes, a crime discovered Thursday that left coins scattered on the ground.

An estimated $100,000 or more in dimes was stolen from the truck, which had picked up the coins from the U.S. Mint and was parked in the lot overnight, Philadelphia Police Capt. John Ryan told reporters.

Officers were called to a Walmart parking lot in northeastern Philadelphia just after 6 a.m. Thursday on a report of the break-in, which is believed to have happened overnight, police said in a statement.

Helicopter video from NBC Philadelphia showed the tractor-trailer and coins throughout the parking lot.
