Bank robbers strapped civilian hostages to the outside of their cars as human shields during a huge raid in Brazil that saw at least three people killed.
Around 20 robbers armed with machine guns, bombs and drones are thought to have raided three banks in the centre of Araçatuba city, 290 miles from Sao Paulo, starting around midnight.
Raiders attacked the local police headquarters and blocked roads into the city using burned-out cars to stop reinforcements from arriving, before kidnapping locals to use as human shields.
Video shows how gunmen walked lines of hostages through the streets before strapping them to the roofs and bonnets of their cars as they made their escape - scattering infrared proximity bombs along their route to stop police following.
At least three died in the raid including two civilians and one robber, Brazilian media reported, while two people were arrested.

Dom and Letty would never do it that way.
This could be any city in the Socialist States of America
Pretty low end intelligence services not to have advanced knowledge.
What an evil world.
Stories like this in an odd way make me somewhat grateful for a degenerative illness. I think living to a ripe old age will not be a blessing by the time I’d get there.
At least the robbers were wearing masks…
Yeah. Now I know why my grandparents would say they were glad their time was near.
There’s a headline you don’t see every day
Road Warrior.
Lord Humungous was a stand up guy.
All they had to do was walk away...
Didn’t the Simpsons describe Brazilian money as ‘gay’?

If not now, soon.
Saving lives!
The movie rights to this heist will be worth more than the heist itself.
The Policia Militar will not show any mercy if they ever find these miscreants. Few if any will be taken alive.
Concerned it will give idiots ideas.
And perhaps vaccinated??
This will all end when we go to a world wide digital currency...won’t need banks then...then they’ll go and start kidnapping/robbing billionaires/family members.
commies did it in WII too...
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Just wait until these imported terrorists get started.
