Smart Brazilian thieves

Brazilian thieves have shown the quality of thieves in a superpower. They used the football celebration and Christmas trees to make their robbery seem legitimate.

Thieves in Brazil have stolen more than £5m ($6m) from a cash delivery firm, taking advantage of the nation's passion for football, police say.

Police believe the thieves - who had dug a tunnel into the firm's building - struck when season-ending matches were played in Sao Paulo on Sunday.

A security guard later told local media he had heard a loud noise but thought it was fireworks lit by fans.

The theft was only discovered on Sunday evening - after the matches had ended.

They also have to predict the right result. If the home team had lost, probably they wouldn't have had the chance to cover up the explosion.
