Brazilian police say a raid to recover stolen cars and cargo came up with a more interesting find: two war tanks.

The engine-less tanks were found Monday inside a warehouse in Sacoma, a low-income district in Sao Paulo.

Police also confiscated 500 television sets, car body parts and a recently stolen semitrailer truck.

Army officers told the UOL Internet portal that the two tanks did not belong to the Army and that their origin would be investigated. Officials did not say what sort of tanks they were or how old they might be. Images published by local media show a treaded vehicle with five road wheels on each side.

The warehouse's caretaker was taken into custody.
