RECORD BANK ROBBERY IN BRAZIL
Bank robbers in Brazil have stolen over 88 million US dollars from a branch of the country’s Central Bank. The gang of thieves tunneled 80 meters into the bank from a rented house several streets away. It took three months of digging. They strengthened the tunnel walls with wood and plastic and installed electric lighting. Neighbors reported nothing suspicious about the occupants of the house. They had no idea a tunnel was being excavated. A truck arrived every day, which was loaded with dozens of large plastic bags and then driven away.
