Bussey stars in the movie as Paul “Bear” Bryant, who was head coach at Texas A&M in the 1950’s. United Press International MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two masked gunmen who robbed a Wells Fargo office on Thank sgiving Day made off with $6.5 million in cash, checks and nego tiable bonds, making it the third largest holdup in the nation’s history, an audit showed Saturday. “There was $6.5 million total loss,” Lt. Glynn King of the Memphis Police Department said following a meeting with Wells Fargo officials who hand led the audit. King indicated Wells Fargo employees were being scruti nized as possible suspects in the theft. “We’re looking at everybody connected with Wells Fargo,” he said. “We’re interviewing all em ployees, past employees and we’re canvassing that area of the city trying to find anyone who may have seen anything.” Wells Fargo officials in Mem phis refused to discuss the rob bery or audit, as did spokesmen in Atlanta, where the firm’s na tional headquarters is located. The $6.5 million theft repre sented $5.2 million in cash, approximately $500,000 in negotiable bonds and $750,000 in checks. King said ‘‘a substantial amount” of the cash was trace able by recorded serial numbers. However, he said it would take some time to determine the ori gin of the checks, since the thieves also took the security firm’s deposit paperwork. The identities of the two men who robbed the Memphis office at gunpoint remained a mystery. “We don’t have any idea who did it,” King said. He said there was nothing to indicate the men left the Memphis area, although the FBI has spread information on the holdup nationwide. King said the only informa tion obtained on a getaway vehi cle was a description of a brown truck or van, about “the size of a bread truck,” with a white bum per and probably a Tennessee license plate with the last three digits “23T.” Wells Fargo was also the vic tim of the nation’s second largest robbery Sept. 12 in West Hart ford, Conn., when a Wells Fargo Armored Service guard drew a gun on two fellow employees, in jected them with a drug and escaped with $7 million. The largest U.S. cash robbery took place Dec. 12, 1982, when $11 million was taken from a Sentry armored car courier in New York.
