Gang steals $30million from a LA cash vault daring Easter Sunday raid after breaking in through the roof in one of the city's biggest ever heists
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Brazen thieves stole $30 million in an audacious Easter Sunday burglary at a Los Angeles money storage facility in one of the largest cash heists in city history.

The raid on Sunday night was carried out under the cover of darkness at the cash vaults held at the GardaWorld facility in the Sylmar area of the San Fernando Valley, on the northeastern edge of LA, where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored, cops said.

It is thought the gang broke in through a hatch on the roof and some how circumnavigated the security systems to access the vaults and escape without raising the alarm.

While there did not appear to be any damage done to the roof, local news footage showed a patched up hole on the southeastern side of the building.

Debris lay around it, though it is unclear what this may have been used for or if it was related to Sunday's theft.

I'm betting a tryout for a movie script.

#3 The debris field in the video seems to suggest that exterior wall might have been an exit route, given the volume of cash involved?
