On the video, the man walks calmly through crowds on West 48th Street, as calmly as a man can walk while lugging a very heavy and perhaps very valuable bucket that does not belong to him.
At one point, the man — stocky, maybe in his 50s, wearing a down vest and long-sleeve shirt — rests the bucket on the sidewalk to catch his breath. He crosses Fifth Avenue, heading east. He makes his way to Third Avenue, a distance of a half-mile. It takes him an hour, WNBC said.
At Third Avenue and 48th Street, the police said, the man disappears.
The bucket contained 86 pounds of gold flakes, worth $1.6 million, the police said.
Detective Pastor said the police believe that the man is in Florida. The gold flakes are still at large as well.
