From a movie! They steal 30 million dollars from an impenetrable fortress.
Los operadores del negocio no descubrieron el robo hasta que abrieron la bóveda.
Inspired by Sergio Marquina, alias "The Professor", leader of the gang in the series "La casa de papel", the thieves escaped with more than 30 million dollars in cash from a facility dedicated to the safekeeping and protection of cash.
Now detectives are trying to unravel the brazen robbery, reportedly one of the largest recorded in the city of Los Angeles, California.
The police report states that the thieves broke into the building on Easter Sunday and opened the safe where the money was kept. The business operators did not discover the theft until they opened the vault.
The facility, considered a fortress, is the headquarters of GardaWorld, a global security and money safekeeping company. The Canadian-based company also operates fleets of armored vehicles.
LAPD Officer David Cuellar said officers received a call for service at 4:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday on a street where GardaWorld headquarters is located, about 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. .
Once the news was announced, reporters from various television media stood around the GardaWorld headquarters on Thursday morning.
Aerial footage from KABC-TV showed a large hole in the side of the building that appeared to be plugged with a piece of plywood.
The Los Angeles police and the FBI simply said that they were investigating the robbery "to determine the person or group responsible" and asked for the public's collaboration on any clues they could provide, but did not confirm how much was stolen, nor did they give any details. details of the robbery.
Thieves with a lot of experience
For some security experts "these are very experienced and professional thieves, they knew what they were doing and when. It is impressive, someone who has done these, has done it many times"
GardaWorld has a good reputation in the security industry, but every company has "isolated incidents like this that just don't make sense, but it happens to the best of them," said Jim McGuffey, a security consultant.
