Post Description

Story:
In 2005, 168,000,000 Brazilian Real (almost 80,000,000 US dollars) was stolen from a Brazilian bank, making it the biggest peace-time robbery in history.

It was perhaps the most audacious bank heist ever.

The gang were widely hailed as folk-heroes. The crime was technically brilliant, and they disappeared without trace. Police were stunned by what they found – and so was the Discovery audience.

The gang had burrowed in from over a block away, creating a tunnel that was wood-panelled, strip lit – and even air-conditioned! They destroyed all forensics at the scene, and only took bank notes that were untraceable. Not a single alarm was triggered. By the time the theft was noticed, the gang had disappeared into thin air…

    * As a front for their tunnelling operation – which Brazilian police estimated must have taken weeks – the gang hired a shop a block away selling artificial grass. IT was so convincing they even held a launch party, giving out promotional badges and caps.

    * Needless to say, these have become collectors’ items!

    * Whoever the gang really were, they were comprised of experts in every part of the job. Only a very skilled engineer could have pulled off the final challenge – drilling through 2 metres of steel-reinforced concrete to break through to the cash holding room.

    * Discovery’s documentary uncovered mysteries that seemed lifted from a Quentin Tarantino film. Gang members had names like The German, The Tortured and the Big Digger. Few people in the world possessed the skills needed – yet the gang was never uncovered.
