Robber stole gold-plated sex toy

An armed robber stole an 18-carat gold-plated sex toy from a luxury sex shop in Brazil.

Police say the man walked into the Erotica Luxo store in Brasilia, tied up a clerk and took the item from its display case.

He stole nothing else in the raid apart from the gold vibrator which was on sale for the equivalent of £2,600.

Store owner Vanessa Baldini said the robber did not take the charger for the Swedish-made vibrator.

"I really don't know what he'll do. I'll leave it up to his imagination," she added.
