The elaborate and complex theft appeared to be the work of an experienced crew.

- Los Angeles police and the FBI are investigating a daring heist of nearly US$30 million in cash after burglars apparently broke through the roof of a money storage facility and cracked a safe.

The Los Angeles Times, citing source familiar with the investigation, said burglars busted through a roof to access the building’s vault, somehow evading a sophisticated alarm system. “It’s just mind blowing that you would never suspect it,” an anonymous employee of the facility told ABC News. While the crime is reminiscent of Hollywood heist movies like Ocean’s Eleven, it follows a string of real-life, sophisticated break-ins in the region over the years.
