[dineshamgothk]

This story alone deserves a complete movie

How has this not been turned into a GTA mission?

Brazil’s bank robbery stories are always the BEST

So the police discovered who the robbers were and kidnapped him for the ransom. 😅

Robbers robbed the bank and police robbed the robbers and police arrested the police 😂 story in a nutshell

[Biosx]

On Saturday, August 6, 2005, a gang of burglars tunneled into the bank and removed five containers of 50-real notes, with an estimated value of R$164, 755, 150 (about 71.6 million USD at 2005 exchange rate) and weighing about 3.5 tons. The money was uninsured, a bank spokesperson stating that the risks were too small to justify the insurance premiums. The burglars managed to evade or disable the bank's internal alarms and sensors, and the burglary remained undiscovered until the bank opened for business the following Monday.

Banco Central is the Brazilian central bank, charged with control of the money supply. The money in the vault was to be examined to decide whether it should be recirculated or destroyed. The bills were not numbered sequentially, making them almost impossible to trace

This robbery became so popular and was one of the biggest and most strategic in Brazil that it was adapted into a film called " Assalto ao Banco Central", I recommend watching it, it's an amazing movie.

When that one friend finds my minecraft base by x-raying:

[hugocarvalho]

There's a Brazilian movie made about it named "Assalto ao Banco Central". Don't know how it's called in english though, may be "Central Bank Heist"

[AntonioCarlos.EU-BR]

In Brazil, even the police can rob you!

[ブルジラ]

I'm actually proud of living near Fortaleza
And yes, this deserves a movie + series (better than La Casa de Papel

[transpose]

Noted: Do not use the same road you dug under.

[NiceDude]

Sounds like some confusing chess moves:

Robbers take the money
Police rob a robber
Police kill the robber
Police arrests police

Checkmate

Zack needs a raise for convincing these animators 😭😭

[kigilichills]

Same happened in India last Year, a gang ding a tunnel to Bank opposite to the Road. They rent a shop and started digging tunnel, after a long time they so close to dig the bank's floor. Next day a Overloaded PickUp Truck going through the Road and guess what !!! That Trucks Weight made a huge hole over their Tunnel. Surrounding people saw Tools and lights that they used for Digging, they caught Red Handed 😂😂😂

[MalaEscena]

How did they know where the vault was while being underground?

[lexiemme]

we got a whole movie plot right here, y'all

[therowdyref]

They added this as an easter egg in Project Zomboid B42. In a building right next to the bank in rosewood has a dug out tunnel that leads to the vault.

The way he said “banco” and “reals” pained me.
