Believe it or not, this isn't a leaked scene from the set of the latest Michael Bay movie; it's just another day at the office for a few heroic members of the Brazilian Federal Police.

In what is sure to be the highlight of these officers' careers, a video uploaded to YouTube yesterday shows police in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil chasing down a group of smugglers attempting to take off in a small aircraft.

After gaining enough speed to catch up with the aircraft, the driver decides that the best course of action is to ram straight through the plane's wing, disabling the craft and allowing officers to arrest five suspects after a month-long investigation.

We're still wondering if there's a Federal Police policy for this sort of thing, or if the officers were just... winging it.
