Thieves reportedly stole up to $30 million during an Easter Sunday (March 31) heist at an undisclosed San Fernando Valley money storage facility, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The incident took place at a Sylmar facility that handles cash for various businesses in the Southern California region and was reported to be among the biggest heists to ever hit Los Angeles. The break-in was described as being part of a complex scheme involving highly experienced burglars entering through the roof of the building and accessing the vault without setting off the alarm system.

Officials weren't made aware of the incident until after the safe was opened Monday (April 1) as there were no signs of the break-in outside the actual vault. The Los Angeles Police Department was notified of the incident by Sylmar facility officials and gathered evidence at the scene.
