Police in Los Angeles and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, are probing a daring robbery of nearly $30 million in cash after burglars broke through the roof of a money storage facility and cracked a safe.
The incident took place on Easter Sunday in the northern suburb of Sylmar.
David Cuellar of the Los Angeles Police Department described the robbery as one of the largest cash thefts in the city’s history.
Citing a source familiar with the investigation, Los Angeles Times stated that the burglars busted through a roof to access the building’s vault, somehow evading a sophisticated alarm system.
The media organization further stated that theft appeared to be the work of an experienced crew, and was only discovered on Monday when staff opened the vault.
