Thieves in Brazil have escaped with more than £3m after tunnelling underground to a safe and striking as televised football finals gripped the country.

Sao Paulo police were alerted to the audacious heist hours after the season-ending matches were over.

A 150m tunnel leading from an armoured car company to a nearby house was discovered and officials from the firm said 10 million reais (£3.6m) was missing.

The criminals carried out the robbery on the final day of the football season, ensuring local residents were transfixed on events on the pitch.

Brazilian TV reports said electricity to the vault had been cut off and some CCTV cameras were not working when the gang struck.

Police were quoted as saying the lone security guard reported hearing loud noises, but dismissed them as fireworks lit by excited football fans.

The tunnel was followed back to a house that was empty apart from a Christmas tree-shaped light hanging in the window.

"We only knew there were people there because there was a car parked outside from time to time," neighbour Regiane Nascimento said.

Authorities said the home had been let to new tenants about four months before the heist.
