article_snippet.sent: Thieves using heavy cutting equipment and rappelling gear broke into the vault of an esteemed 60-year-old safe deposit company in the heart of London over the past holiday weekend, possibly taking advantage of as many as four days to rifle through an uncounted number of safe deposit boxes.
article_snippet.sent: At this stage it is believed that approximately 60-70 safe deposit boxes were opened during the burglary.
article_snippet.sent: Throughout the day Wednesday, customers of the business went in and out of the premises, clearly unhappy about not being able to learn whether customers of the business boxes were among those ransacked.
article_snippet.sent: Because of the long Easter weekend, police did not hear of the robbery until Tuesday morning.
article_snippet.sent: This may prove to be an embarrassment, as the Telegraph newspaper reported that the alarm at the business sounded Friday but, as the front and back doors still appeared locked, no action was taken.
