The police said that the theft was not discovered until the second fire alarm sounded in the early morning of the 29th. After the police conducted a comprehensive search of the entire building, they discovered a large hole in the basement leading to the vault.
The spokesperson also said,The theft was "very professionally done", comparable to a movie, and the planning and execution of the case required "a lot of preparation and energy in advance."At present, relevant evidence collection and investigation work are still in progress.
