Alghero: A tobacconist scares off a masked robber by throwing a pack of cigarettes.
Piero Daga confronted the criminal and made him run away: the scene was captured on videoHere's the lone robber wearing a Dalí mask , caught on video surveillance last Thursday at the Pergola bar and tobacco shop in Alghero, presumably intending to pull off another heist after the supermarket robbery. But this time, the attempt ended badly for the criminal.
The man was caught off guard by the owner, Piero Daga, who, with a lightning-fast gesture, threw a carton of cigarettes at him, hitting him squarely. Immediately afterward, the owner gave chase, forcing the robber to flee hastily towards the Maria Pia pine forest, where he managed to disappear.
The entire scene was captured by the business's security cameras: the video, which quickly went viral, documents moments of great tension and the owner's composure in dealing with yet another criminal episode that once again puts the spotlight on the issue of safety in the city.
