The incident left two people injured.

“So far, four people have been arrested who collected part of the paper bills that were thrown to the ground due to the explosion,” the police told the news website. Several videos and pictures of the robbery were shared on social media, leaving many intrigued.

“Bank robbery like #MoneyHeist executed by thieves in Brazil. People take money scattered on the floor after a mega robbery in the city of Criciuma – Brazil. The modality of crime is called ‘Novo Cangaço’,” wrote a user while sharing the viral clip.
