Cars suspected to be stolen and dumped in Jaguari lake appear on dry ground during a prolonged drought in Braganca Paulista

Cars, that the police suspect were stolen and dumped in the lake behind the Jaguari dam, appear on dry ground as the lake dries up due to a prolonged drought in Braganca Paulista, Sao Paulo state, October 2, 2014. A local police spokesman told Reuters that it is common for stolen vehicle to be dumped in this lake, but it is not normal for them to appear during a normal dry season. The worst drought in 80 years has left the Cantareira system, that provides greater Sao Paulo with most of its water, with the lowest water level on record, with daily rationing becoming common in the region’s smaller cities, according to the state authorities.
