Brazil cops find tanks during stolen goods hunt [View all]

Brazil cops find tanks during stolen goods hunt
Published on the 27 January 2015 20:34

A POLICE raid in Brazil aimed at recovering stolen cars and cargo threw up a more interesting find - two war tanks.

Sao Paulo police said that the two engine-less tanks were uncovered in a warehouse in Sacoma, a low-income district of Brazil’s biggest city.

Police also confiscated 500 televisions, car parts and a recently stolen lorry.

It was reported that the two tanks are not the property of the Army, and their origin would be the subject of a detailed investigation.

Officials did not say what type of tanks they were, and no indication of age was given, but they are thought to be American-made M-41 models.
