Burglars steal as much as $30 million in one of L.A.’s largest cash heists ever, LAPD seeks clues
The burglary occurred Easter Sunday night at a facility in Sylmar, CA where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored, said L.A. Police Department Cmdr. Elaine Morales.
The thieves were able to breach the building as well as the safe where the money was stored, Morales said. Law enforcement sources said the burglary was among the largest in city history when it comes to cash, and the total also surpassed any armored-car heist in the city.
Sources familiar with the investigation told The Times that a burglary crew broke through the roof of the Gardaworld building on Roxford Street to gain access to the vault. But it is unclear how they avoided the alarm system.
The Canada-based security company has not responded to requests for comment.
