Not quite "Goldfinger"

This from the FBI's Infragard daily news bulletin:

14. January 19, Crystal Lake Northwest Herald - (Illinois) Burglary foiled at factory. Police said they stopped a burglary operation at a Union, Illinois metal factory where four men tried to steal tens of thousands of pounds of aluminum. About 8 a.m. January 16, the McHenry County Sheriff's Office received information from the Wood Dale and Crystal Lake police departments about a possible burglary at the factory. After deploying to the scene, officers observed a dark-colored SUV driving in the area displaying suspicious behavior. Shortly after, the SUV was seen escorting a semitractor trailer to the business New Dimensions at 6614 S. Union Road, police said. The tractor trailer was seen backing into an open bay door. The door closed, and the SUV continued to drive in the area while the tractor trailer was inside. Police stopped the SUV, and a Chicago man was taken into custody. A perimeter was established around the business, and when the tractor trailer began to move, the alleged driver, a Westchester man, was approached and apprehended. Two other men were later found in the area and arrested. The tractor trailer had been stolen from the Bensenville area January 15, and tens of thousands of pounds of aluminum were found inside, police said. The men had used forklifts inside the business to load the trailer. The four men were charged with burglary, theft, and conspiracy.
