During the early morning hours of March 31, 2024—which fell on the Easter holiday—thieves broke into a GardaWorld facility in Sylmar, Los Angeles and stole upwards of around $20 million.

At approximately 11:30 pm on March 30, 2024 a burglar alarm was triggered at the GardaWorld private security facility located on Roxford Street in Sylmar, Los Angeles.

Upon entering the building, which involved the use of tunneling,[3] the burglars were able to access the safe without triggering any alarms,[2] with apparently no signs of forcible entry to the vault area.

[5] A resident of the adjacent Tahitian Mobile Home Park said that she heard a mechanical whirring sound which lasted at least two hours emanating from the GardaWorld facility during the early morning of Easter Sunday.

A nearby convenience store owner reported that his shop's WiFi signal was inoperable for most of that day, leading to suspicions that the burglars may have used jamming equipment in order to disable security cameras.
