Sophisticated $30 Million Cash Heist Stuns Los Angeles

Investigators probe potential insider involvement in Easter Sunday theft from GardaWorld.

  • Thieves in Los Angeles executed a highly sophisticated heist on Easter Sunday, making off with up to $30 million in cash from a GardaWorld money storage facility.
  • The heist, one of the largest in Los Angeles history, involved breaking into the facility through the roof without triggering alarms, and the exact amount stolen is still being determined.
  • Investigators are considering the possibility of insider knowledge due to the operation's sophistication, and are scrutinizing current and former employees.
  • The stolen cash's traceability is uncertain, but authorities hope that records of serial numbers or touch DNA might lead to the culprits.
  • This incident surpasses the previous largest cash robbery in Los Angeles, which occurred in 1997 and involved $18.9 million stolen from the Dunbar Armored facility.
