Dang, I was kinda rootin' for them
SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Police in Brazil have detained four men in connection with one of the world's biggest heists.
Officials say they've also recovered more than two (m) million dollars U-S of the cash worth 70 (m) million dollars stolen from Brazil's central bank.
The recovered cash was found hidden in three pickup trucks that were on a vehicle transporter truck located 19-hundred kilometres from the robbery scene.
Authorities said two men in the transporter and two others who own a car dealership have been placed under temporary arrest, allowing them to be held for 10 days without being charged.
Federal police say investigators have discovered the dealership received cash for several vehicles.
Police intercepted the transporter near the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte.
A search that followed uncovered about two (m) million dollars stashed inside the seats, bodywork and spare tires of the pickups.
