The women approached guards at a prison in Brazil’s Mato Grosso state at around 3 AM Thursday wearing “sexy” outfits, and convinced them to let them inside to “chat and drink.”
The next thing the guards knew they woke up handcuffed on the floor the next day: their drinks had been spiked with a sedative. The only clues necessary to fill in what had happened were the 28 missing prisoners and the women’s skimpy costumes, left behind.
"We assume that is what the women were wearing when they seduced the guards," spokesman for Justice Secretariat of Mato Grosso Willian Fidelis told CNN.

The guards say they don’t remember anything after starting to drink. They will be charged with “facilitating a jailbreak” and “culpable embezzlement,” according to police chief Angelina de Andrades Ferreira.
“They served them cheap whisky with some substance to knock them out, then unlocked the central gate which accesses the internal cells,” said Ferreira. “Whoever wanted to escape left by the front door.”
Though several inmates were rounded up quickly after the break, most are still at large, and some are presumed armed, as they took police issue firearms — including three 12-calibre rifles, two 38-calibre revolvers, and shotguns — with them.
One of the women is thought to be the girlfriend of an inmate, 18-year-old Bruno Amorim, who was serving time for attempted murder, robbery and firearms possession.
