Edited [Regnum] In Italy, law enforcement and military personnel detained three perpetrators who blew up a van carrying cash and then fired back at the carabinieri. This was reported on February 9 by the Tg24 portal. The incident occurred in Brindisi. The criminals used a blue Alfa Romeo with flashing lights to mislead the guards of the vehicle transporting the money. After detonating explosives on the armored car, they attempted to escape, driving along the highway toward Lecce. According to these reports, there were six criminals. They were armed with rifles and hid their faces under balaclavas. To escape, the attackers stole a car during the chase. In total, they used at least three cars during the attack. According to Il Messaggero, one of the cars used by the attackers had previously been stolen from the police. The carabinieri, and then the military, began the pursuit. The criminals returned fire, and one bullet pierced the windshield of the carabinieri's vehicle, wounding two law enforcement officers. According to these reports, another carabinieri, returning home after his shift, also took part in the pursuit. The perpetrators rammed cars to evade pursuit. They were blocked on the Brindisi-Lecce highway in the Campi Salentina area. Three people have been detained, and the search for the others is ongoing. |
