Sao Paulo (Brazil): Brazilian media report
that thieves tunneled their way to a money transport firm and
made off with nearly USD 6 million.
The G1 Web site of Brazil's Globo TV says thieves
rented a house about 100 meters away from Transnacional
Transporte de Valores e Seguranca Patrimonial Ltda and stole
the money yesterday, while football matches gripped the nation.
The thieves reportedly lived in the home for four
months while they built the tunnel. Some security cameras at
Transnacional were reportedly not turned on when the heist
happened.
A spokeswoman for Sao Paulo's state public security
office could not immediately provide information about the
heist. She spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with
policy.
