The thief rented the aircraft late on Friday from an air taxi service at the Campo Marte airport in Sao Paulo for a "surprise," the state security secretariat said.
During the flight, the Santa forced the pilot to fly to a small farm outside of Sao Paulo city, where they were met by a third person, the secretariat said.
The pilot was tied up and the two perpetrators flew away. After several hours, the pilot managed to escape and alert police. There has been no sign of the helicopter, a Robinson model 44, authorities said.
There's a news video in Portuguese here.

And they won't see it again until Christmas Eve, when it'll be flying around, dropping presents to all the good little boys and girls.
Insert your "Santa's Sleigh Is in the Garage" joke here:
