This is in continuation of my post regarding t
he Brazen Bank Robbery dated 16 August 2005.
The photograph on the left is of the house which the thieves had rented and from where they dug the tunnel leading to the Bank. Neighbours said between six and ten men worked at the house, rented in the name of a company making artificial turf. The theft happened over the weekend, but was not discovered until Monday morning because the Bank was closed. Neighbours reported seeing vanloads of material being removed each day. It took the thieves three months to dig the tunnel which goes underneath two city blocks. The Banco Central said the robbers opened five containers with 50 real bills ($22). The value of the stolen bank notes has not yet been determined. However, police sources said the heist may have yeilded as much as 150 million re
als, which would make it the biggest bank robbery in Brazil's history. The second photo is of the tunnel taken from inside the Bank
