Robbers use Brazils passion for football to steal

Only in a country like Brazil where football is like a religion could this happen..

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – Robbers took advantage of Brazil’s passion for football to steal about $6 million (3.7 million pounds) from a cash delivery firm, as the nation was transfixed on championship games, media reported on Monday.

Police suspect the thieves tunnelled into the firm’s building in Sao Paulo and waited until Sunday afternoon, when the final games of the national championships were played, to break in and steal more than 10 million reais.

A security guard working at the firm on Sunday reported hearing loud noises but thought they were from fireworks lit by excited football fans, the Globo news network’s web site reported Sao Paulo police as saying.
