My kind of bank robbery Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Usually I don't like bank robbers - that kind that make holdup's, shoot people etc - but this kind, well

'Record' bank robbery in Brazil
Brazilian real bills
The tunnel was four-metres (13ft) deep
Thieves in Brazil have stolen up to $65m (£36m) after tunnelling into a bank in what police say could be the country's biggest bank heist.

The thieves dug a 200m (656ft) tunnel into the bank from a nearby house in the northern city of Fortaleza.

Neighbours said between six and 10 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's something you see in the movies... They dug a tunnel that goes underneath two [city] blocks. They've been digging for three months," investigator Francisco Queiroga told the Reuters news agency.

The Banco Central said the robbers opened five containers with 50 real ($22) bills.

The value of the stolen bank notes has not been determined. However, police sources said the heist may have yielded as much as 150m reals, which would make it the biggest bank robbery in Brazil's history.

I have a very strong personal opinion on enforcing the law, but anyone can admit that this is way cool.

It's much older. It's what they do in one Sherlock Holmes story.

Watson, the first thing you should have a look at in men is their knees. This one has definitely been kneeling on sand ground and digging a tunnel to that bank. Let's wait for them there. They win, story over.
