Brazilian police crash car into suspected smugglers' plane
Posted: 11/03/2011
PONTAL, Brazil - Police in Brazil don't mess around when it comes to catching suspected smugglers.
A Brazilian Federal Police agent crashed a car into an airplane to keep the plane filled with notebooks and electronic surveillance equipment from taking off.
Brazilian officials tell C-N-N that this was the 12th smugglers' plane confiscated by police in the last five years...but the first time an agent had to crash into one to make it stop.
