BANK ROBBERS TUNNEL THEIR WAY TO MILLIONS

1. Tunnel bank robbers in South America have broken world records of crime, snatching millions of dollars from banks and making their getaways through narrow passages beneath busy city streets. One of the biggest robberies was a $68 million job in Fortaleza, Brazil.

2. About 100 yards from Fortaleza’s Central Bank, a sign appeared in front of a building that described it as a landscaping store, selling natural and artificial grass as well as plants. This was a trick, apparently, to avoid suspicion when the robbers removed large quantities of earth from the premises.

3. The thieves dug a 260-foot tunnel from the house to the bank, putting in electric lights, air conditioning and wooden walls.

4. The robbers entered the bank when it was closed for the weekend and got away with about $68 million.

5. The robbers managed to avoid or disable the bank’s alarm systems. The robbery remained undiscovered until the bank opened for business the following Monday.

6. ‘They worked for several months’, police said. ‘They had sophisticated equipment and experts in math, engineering and excavation.’

7. Police found a pick-up truck at the rented house. They also discovered that the house was covered in white powder, which made it difficult to take fingerprints.

8. The massive amount of money still missing has led to kidnappings of alleged suspects for ransom. In October, one of the suspected robbers was kidnapped, then found dead after his family reportedly paid $890, 000 in ransom.

9. The police also suspect that some members of the gang might be connected to other tunnelling bank robberies in Uruguay and the Argentine cite of Cordoba.
