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

[: Michael-Robert.]

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. https://nypost.com/2024/04/04/us-news/la-detectives-stunned-by-mysterious-30-million-cash-heist/

Inside job. Everyone who works there from the top guy to the janitor will be sweated hard.

Why would you sweat if innocent?

 

[newnan man]

You'll sweat when the investigators start in on you. Human nature. Innocent until proven guilty.

I agree
Sounds like a inside job
I’m sure there are surveillance cameras nearby

They are never working when the big stuff goes down. Guards asleep, cameras quick working for an hour. He did it himself.

It will be very interesting to find out who took the money.
for the vault to be opened without damage had to be someone very familiar with the premises.

Well the government does like to investigate themselves and never find any wrong doing.....

 

[newnan man]

California allows crime anyway, so maybe they just want to find them to say "job well done."

I googled “$30 mil” and this is what it looks like. These are all $100s though. Stolen money was from businesses. No one said stolen money was $100s. $30mil in $20s would fill a semi!

That same 30 million in gold would be relatively easy to transport. Half a ton would do it. So half of this picture:
