Major bank robbery sees hostages strapped to cars in Brazil
It seems like it’s out of a movie…but three people have been killed following a brazen bank robbery in the southern part of Brazil, as thieves strapped their hostages to the top of their getaway vehicles
Officials believe more than 20 people were involved in the high-profile heist… with the suspects blocking off roads with burning vehicles and planting explosives across the city.
This heist is the latest in a string of robberies throughout the region… with hostages often used as human shields.
A woman and a suspect were killed during a stand-off with police, whilst a 25-year old cyclist was also seriously injured after coming into contact with one of the pre-planted explosive devices.
Authorities believe there are still around 14 bombs planted across the city… with schools forced to shut and residents advised to stay indoors until all of the explosives have been found and detonated.
It’s not yet clear how much money the robbers took… but videos online seem to show residents gathering banknotes left behind in the street.
Three suspects have also been arrested so far.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
