A gang of thieves used a bitch in heat to distract a guard dog so they could raid a factory in Brazil.

After breaking into the factory in Santa Maria, they put the bitch near the guard dog, reports Zero Hora newspaper.

And while the guard dog was distracted, the gang took £10,000 in cash from the Segalin agricultural products company.

The secretary, who was the first to arrive at the factory, told the police: “When I arrived at the company I saw Zulu, the dog happily chasing after a female dog.”

CCTV footage confirmed the secretary’s suspicions.

A police spokesperson said: “Those are very creative and resourceful thieves, that was a very good idea!”
