Long Tunnel to a Bank – level 2
11-10-2017 15:00
A Brazilian gang built a 500-metre-long tunnel. Police monitored the gang and found the tunnel. They arrested 16 men.
The tunnel led from a rented home to a bank. It cost around $1.27 million to build, and the gang was planning to steal $317 million.
More than ten years ago, a different gang in Brazil tunnelled into a bank vault and stole $70 million.
Difficult words: monitor (watch), vault (a secure/safe room in a bank).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
