Thieves Stole $30 Million On Easter Sunday And Cops Are Clueless
Los Angeles police say they are dumbfounded as to how thieves were able to steal $30 million from a vault on Easter Sunday without leaving much of a clue as to how they pulled it off.
The heist is believed to be one of the largest in California history, as thieves were able to break into a money storage facility's vault in the San Fernando Valley without triggering the alarm and leave with the massive amount of money.
SUSPECTS ARE ON THE RUN
According to authorities, it wasn't until Monday morning when employees at the facility went into the vault only to find out that everything was gone. Talk about someone having a case of the Mondays.
What does one even do when that happens? Nervously laugh? Start crying? Say "the heck with this" and quit? I mean just imagine how much money $30 million looks like and poof - it's gone! Truly wild stuff. It's like the scene in Mission Impossible where the CIA guy comes back into the room and realizes that Tom Cruise - dangling from the ceiling had just stolen the list of all the Agency's undercover agents. He's like "Ohhhhh God."
INSIDE JOB?
Police believe the thieves broke into the roof of the facility in what they describe as an "elaborate" heist.
Not only did the alarm not go off, but ther were no visible signs of a break in from outside either. Cops are also wondering how they would have known that there was going to be such a huge amount of money for the taking.
"It's just mind blowing that you would never suspect it," he said. "$30 million in the Valley, gone. How? Why? I'm still trying to process it. Was it an inside job? Was it just one person? Was it a group? You know, there's a lot of questions," an employee told ABC7 News.
The robbery is the largest cash grab in Los Angeles history. However, California suffered its biggest robbery almost two years ago to the day when over $100 million in jewels and other antiques were stolen from a Brinks big rig truck.
Those suspects like the ones from the Easter robbery still remain on the run.
