One of the hostages in Saturday’s daring robbery in the Deep South Rupu-nuni was forced to electronically transfer money to Brazil, the police said in a release yesterday.
The money has since been recovered and the Brazilian Federal Police is working with law enforcement authorities.
A gang suspected to be from Brazil carried out the robbery and later took eight hostages. The host-ages managed to escape unharmed after the local police began to chase the robbers.
