United States: $30 million stolen from Los Angeles
United States: $30 million stolen from Los Angeles
(France 2)
This is what we can call one of the heists of the century: 30 million dollars stolen from a vault in Los Angeles. Do investigators already have a lead?
In a city that never lacks imagination, the scenario was written in a cash depository into which thieves entered through the roof. From the outside, a piece of wall visibly pierced and hastily covered is the possible exit door from a breakage that the employees discovered the next day. Between 20 and 30 million dollars in cash, one of the biggest burglaries in the country, without even having to break into the safe.
Similar heists under study
The alarm signal was not transmitted to the police. Well informed, the thieves could have benefited from complicity within the company. The FBI is investigating similar heists that have taken place in recent years. In this type of case, the stolen tickets only reappear years later, the time for Hollywood to adapt this multi-million dollar mystery on the big screen.
