6 mln snatched in Brazil heist

Published: 8 December 2009 y., Tuesday

While much of Brazil was fixated on a championship soccer match -- thieves in Sao Paulo over the weekend made off with 6 million dollars from a cash delivery firm.

Police say the burglars used a 490-foot tunnel that they started digging four months ago from a small house they rented near the firm.
