It almost plays out like a movie, I was thinking Italian job.

Tbh though I hope these guys get tracked down especially for using the gold/money to buy and bring guns over the boarder.

Sounds like authorities had a pretty good suspicion who was involved for a long time before they could prove anything. I wonder how they developed their leads.
