Good evening, I'm Don Herbert. |
00:01:39.751 - 00:01:43.722 |
Tonight's lead story is the daring |
00:01:43.822 - 00:01:45.491 |
and deadly paramilitary robbery
at Camp Pendleton. |
00:01:45.591 - 00:01:48.660 |
It left three marines dead and
at least nine others critically wounded. |

Earlier this evening,
a heavily armed commando unit |
00:01:52.197 - 00:01:54.466 |
held up the payroll office at the base |
00:01:54.566 - 00:01:56.101 |
and fled with $3.5 million. |
00:01:56.201 - 00:01:58.837 |
The robbers exchanged gunfire
with military police |
00:01:58.937 - 00:02:01.373 |
as they raced to a nearby airfield |
00:02:01.473 - 00:02:03.475 |
and then escaped
in a twin-engine cargo plane. |
00:02:03.575 - 00:02:05.944 |
The pilot and his teenage daughter
are believed to be held hostage |
00:02:06.044 - 00:02:09.248 |

- Turn that bloody radio off. |
00:02:09.348 - 00:02:12.551 |
...was hijacked... |
00:02:12.651 - 00:02:14.674 |
It's okay, Daxie. It's okay. |
00:02:20.626 - 00:02:23.028 |
Here, keep it under radar. |
00:02:23.128 - 00:02:25.964 |

as marine helicopter units |
00:02:28.133 - 00:02:31.270 |
