In Brazil the heists are so common, a woman falls victim to robbers live on tv at the same time as it gives an interview concerning the frequency of robberies on the road. The incident occurred in Rio De Janeiro, and the young thief tried to snatch the gold chain from a woman's neck. The chain broke and the gunman escaped eventually, but licensed arms. Rio is a city known worldwide for its high crime rate, particularly in nearly 1,000 favelas outside the city, where is much increased drug trafficking and gang crimes.
