In one of L.A.’s largest cash heists ever, burglars steal as much as $30 million from vault

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

In one of the largest cash heists in Los Angeles history, thieves made off with as much as $30 million in an Easter Sunday burglary at a San Fernando Valley money storage facility, an L.A. police official said.

The burglary occurred Sunday night at a facility in Sylmar where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored, said L.A. Police Department Cmdr. Elaine Morales.

The thieves were able to breach the building as well as the safe where the money was stored, Morales said. Law enforcement sources said the burglary was among the largest in city history when it comes to cash, and the total also surpassed any armored-car heist in the city.

Mystery surrounds the break-in.

Sources familiar with the investigation told The Times that a burglary crew broke through the roof of the Gardaworld building on Roxford Street to gain access to the vault. But it is unclear how they avoided the alarm system.

Neighbor heard odd noises amid heist of up to $30 million from Sylmar vault

Days after thieves stole as much as $30 million from a security company vault in Sylmar, residents and workers piece together details of the crime.

April 5, 2024

The Canada-based security company has not responded to requests for comment.

The operators of the business did not discover the massive theft until they opened the vault Monday. An ABC-7 TV news helicopter video showed a large cut on the side of the building covered by a piece of plywood.

Authorities were alerted, and detectives from the LAPD’s Mission Division station responded to the crime scene to gather evidence.

A law enforcement source confirmed to The Times there was an effort to breach the side of the cash-holding building in addition to the roof. At least one alarm was triggered during the crime, but it was not connected to local law enforcement, according to a source familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

Brink’s heist mystery: Questions about a timeline that ‘doesn’t make any sense’

A 298-mile drive in 2 hours and 4 minutes? The chronology described in a legal filing and law enforcement documents has added to the mystery surrounding the multimillion-dollar jewelry heist from a Brink’s truck.

Sept. 16, 2022

Further adding to the intrigue is that very few individuals would have known of the huge sums of cash being kept in that safe, according to law enforcement sources.

The break-in was described as elaborate and suggested an experienced crew who knew how to gain entry to a secure facility and go unnoticed.

Scott Andrew Selby, co-author of “Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History,” said that the theft has “all the markings of a really well-thought-out job” that was done by a “professional crew,” adding that based on other major heists of this nature, it is likely that the thieves had some inside intelligence.

He said investigators will be “looking around the globe for crimes with a similar M.O.”

As to whether the money is traceable, Selby said it depends on whether there are records of serial numbers or the cash that was collected is already in circulation. It is hard to hide ill-gotten gains and launder traceable bills, he said.

“As technology progresses and the world gets small, there are a lot of ways you can mess up and get caught,” Selby said. “With touch DNA, the slightest mistake can expose the identity of a member of the crew, leading authorities to eventually identify their associates.”

An FBI spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday night that the agency and the LAPD are investigating the theft.

A federal source said investigators were trying to complete a full accounting of the missing cash, but said it could be the largest cash heist in L.A.’s history.

The prior largest cash robbery in Los Angeles was on Sept. 12, 1997, with the theft of $18.9 million from the former site of the Dunbar Armored facility on Mateo Street. Those behind the incident were eventually caught .

Sunday’s theft comes nearly two years after the multimillion-dollar heist of jewelry from a Brink’s big rig at a Grapevine truck stop.

As much as $100 million in jewels and valuables was taken from the truck.

These are the 5 best L.A. heist movies

Our film editor picks a handful of gems shot in Los Angeles that define the crime film, including classics by Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino.

March 14, 2024

In that case, thieves made off with the goods at 3 a.m. on July 11, 2022, taking more than 20 large bags stuffed with jewelry, gems and other items that the Brink’s tractor-trailer had been transporting to the L.A. area from the International Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo.

The heist occurred during a 27-minute window in which one driver slept in the vehicle’s sleeper berth and another ate a meal at the Flying J, a sprawling truck stop just off Interstate 5’s sinuous Grapevine in Lebec, Calif.

That crime remains unsolved.

Since a burglary crew broke through the reinforced roof of a Laguna Niguel bank and blew a hole in the safe more than four decades ago, it’s been extremely rare in Southern California for thieves to break in from above.

But a decade ago, rooftop bandits breached a series of banks in strip malls across the San Gabriel Valley. They stole at least $16 million before five were caught by the major crimes unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Last July, a burglary crew broke in through the roof of a wine specialist in Venice, making off with about 800 bottles worth about $600,000 — one of the biggest crimes in California wine history .

Tropicana Las Vegas Closing Tuesday to Make Way for a Baseball Stadium

The hotel and casino opened in 1957. A Major League Baseball stadium will rise in its place.

By Johnny Diaz

The famous Tropicana Las Vegas resort, which held the city’s longest-running cabaret and was known for its lavish midcentury décor, will close on Tuesday as it prepares for demolition to make way for a new Major League Baseball stadium.

The resort’s gaming floor will close at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, and the hotel’s last guests will be required to check out by noon, according to the website for the resort , which is owned by Bally’s Corporation, the gambling, betting and entertainment company.

After the demolition, about nine acres of the 35-acre parcel will be granted to the Athletics baseball team for the construction of a 30,000-seat stadium, the resort said. The stadium is expected to host the team, which is moving to Las Vegas from Oakland, Calif., beginning in 2028.

There was discussion last year that the Tropicana would be redeveloped to make room for an integrated resort, casino and ballpark complex. Specific designs are still being finalized, according to the resort.

The Tropicana has had a storied run on the Las Vegas Strip since it opened in 1957 as the most lavish hotel and casino in the city, with a cascading 60-foot fountain and shimmering pool that piped Muzak underwater.

The longtime magicians Siegfried and Roy debuted there. Sean Connery’s James Bond stayed the night. Feathered showgirls danced in its Folies Bergère cabaret. One photo taken in 1980 captured the dancers playfully carrying the comedian Joan Rivers for an awards show at the hotel.

But it’s been years since the resort’s heyday, and the casino has become a relic as the city has evolved by offering entertainment that could be found in other big metro markets: major professional sports teams.

Over the years, the N.F.L. , the N.H.L. , the W.N.B.A. and the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament have all had teams and marquee events move to the city.

Last summer, the governor of Nevada signed a bill agreeing to finance up to $380 million of the estimated $1.5 billion cost of the baseball stadium to lure the Athletics to a site on the Las Vegas Strip.

In November, Major League Baseball approved the relocation of the Athletics to Las Vegas, where the organization is set to open its new ballpark on the Tropicana site, according to the league .

The team will play its 2024 season at the Oakland Coliseum in California and is working with the league to evaluate options for a place to play in the interim after that season.

“We are excited to begin this next chapter in Las Vegas,” John Fisher, the Athletics’s managing partner and owner, said in a statement.

The new ballpark will feature a roof that has five overlapping layers that were inspired by a traditional baseball pennant and views of the city’s skyline, according to the league. Plans for the outfield include a large cable-net glass window facing the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard and an 18,000-square-foot Jumbotron.

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which represents about 350 workers at the Tropicana, said it would help employees find new jobs, apply for unemployment and upgrade their skills.

“The goal is to make sure that the Tropicana workers are taken care of,” Ted Pappageorge, the secretary-treasurer of the union, said in an interview.

He said that union employees will receive a severance of $2,000 for each year of employment and six months of health insurance coverage. He added that he hoped the Tropicana workers would be offered jobs at the stadium complex when it is completed.

On the resort’s Instagram account , longtime visitors expressed bittersweet sentiments about the resort’s closing and reminisced about the “red midcentury inspired décor,” their memories of the casino, the magic shows they enjoyed and the staff they met.
