The “Los Angeles Times” reported on Wednesday (3) that thieves broke into a vault in the southern US state of California and took about 30 million US dollars (about R$150 million at current prices).
The robbery took place on Easter Sunday at Garda World, a security company in Los Angeles.
Police Commander Elaine Morales told the newspaper that the thieves broke into the building and vault where the money was kept. The newspaper says US$30 million was taken, but the police do not yet have the exact value of the stolen goods.
A task force consisting of members of the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI was formed to investigate the robbery.
NBC Network spoke to the GardaWorld employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said that the security of the stolen safe was strong and it was shocking that the thieves took away the money despite the warning.
In a conversation with the “Los Angeles Times”, those involved in the investigation said that the thieves entered through the roof, but it is not yet known how they disabled most of the alarms – one of the alarms sounded, but it was not connected to the police. The thieves tried to enter through one side of the building.
It was only on the Monday after Easter that the company became aware of the robbery and then notified the authorities.
The “Los Angeles Times” also says that few people know there is a lot of money in the bond.
The heist was described as elaborate and likely to have been carried out by an experienced team.
