Sumo wrestlers in action

A sumo wrestler ripped a cash machine out of a Moscow store on Friday, walking off with the bulky 90-kilogram (200-pound) machine on his shoulders, police said.

The man and an accomplice walked into a Moscow shopping mall and detached a cash machine containing 25,000 rubles (838 dollars, 613 euros), Moscow city police said in a statement.

A shop assistant who witnessed the crime called police and the two men were arrested as they tried to escape in a getaway car. The strongman later told police he was a professional sumo wrestler.
