Thieves steal $30 million from vault in Easter heist, leave without a trace — cops have no idea how they did it

Hopefully, this cash can be resurrected.

In a heist of Biblical proportions, thieves pilfered about $30 million cash from a Los Angeles-area vault on Easter Sunday – and no one even noticed the empty vault until the next morning.

The burglary took place Sunday night at the GardaWorld facility in Sylmar, which handles cash for several businesses in the area, sources told Eyewitness News.

The thieves were so stealthy that the safe showed no signs of a break-in from the outside – and the operators of the business were none the wiser until they opened it on Monday, the Los Angeles Times said.

The thieves accessed the facility through the roof and managed to avoid setting off any alarms when they got into the money storage area, officials familiar with the investigation told Eyewitness News.

Footage of the facility on Wednesday showed what appeared to be a gaping hole on the side of the building with a pile of debris next to it – though it was unclear if that damage stemmed from the break-in, the outlet said.

Very few people would have known how much cash was stored at the nondescript facility, the LA Times noted.

The elaborate scheme was likely executed by a seasoned crew of burglars, sources told the paper.

So a seasoned crew of burglars just happened to be in the neighborhood?

Finally, some good, old-fashioned crime, needing intelligence and planning, where the stakes are high, and no one gets hurt.

This constant ghetto and illegal invader crime is so depressing.....

“Thieves steal $30 million from vault in Easter heist, leave without a trace — cops have no idea how they did it”

Not exactly true. The cops know that the thieves broke in through the celling and took the money.

There was a gun store near me that had the same thing happen, the only difference is that the alarm went off and the cops came, drove around the parking lot, didn’t see anything and just left.

The businesses are probably out the money unless there is a lot of insurance.

The first, but not the only suspects, are those who had knowledge of the vault, starting with those who had access and their close confidants and associates.

Yeah, the big hole smashed through the wall of the building probably has nothing to do with the break in.
