The security guards and law enforcement unions are asking the government for "urgent measures" after the robberies carried out by two real "commandos" of armed criminals in Sassari and, in the last few hours, in Brindisi.
«The new robbery of an armored car along state road 16 in the Brindisi area takes place 5 days after the attack on the Mondialpol Vedetta 2 vault in Sardinia and once again highlights how these services are regulated in such a way as not to protect the guards sworn and to jeopardize public safety", states in a note Vincenzo del Vicario, national secretary of Savip (Autonomous Private Surveillance Union).
«The Minister of the Interior Piantedosi, the police chief Pisani and all the other public security authorities must take note - adds del Vicario - that times have changed and that the rampage of crime, which can have deadly weapons and explosives, is a fact confirmed by an unstoppable series of bloody episodes."
For this reason, concludes the secretary Savip, recalling that in 10 years 36 security guards have been killed in robberies and assaults , «we would like urgent measures to limit the activity of criminals and the circulation of the instruments of death which they use to give the assault on our colleagues. We shouldn't wait for a new death of a private security worker and then beat our chest."
Even the acronyms of the police forces take a stand. Like the New Carabinieri Union (NSC) , which in a note from the general secretary for Puglia Cataldo Demitri declares: «After the one in Sassari we are witnessing, within a short time, another unfortunate criminal episode, this time in Puglia, on the Brindisi- Lecce, a rather busy road, a circumstance that makes us think that only by a miracle there are no victims."
«The criminals acted with explosives and machine guns, fortunately the armored vehicles softened the shots and the security guards remained unharmed. Now criminals - he adds - are better equipped than the police." Therefore, "in light of this growing criminal escalation we ask for more suitable equipment for law enforcement operators and that the patrols of the police stations are also better equipped which, in the event of dangerous interventions, must be protected".
