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.
