The hunt continues for the gang of criminals (about ten people in action) who attacked a security van on the 131 state road on the 131 state road near Giave on Wednesday morning, triggering a shootout that left three wounded, two security guards she is a girl.

The cars in which the bandits fled, who abandoned a large part of the booty after the arrival of the carabinieri, with which a firefight was triggered, were found, in flames, near Bolotana, while throughout the Sassari area they are checkpoints and checkpoints have been set up.

The reconstruction of what happened brings to mind dramatic scenes, from films : to attack the Vigilpol van, the criminals sprinkled the asphalt with nails and placed a Daily van and a Panda on the roadway, both set on fire.

In the opposite lane they stopped an articulated lorry, threatening the driver with a rifle , and forced him to put the vehicle sideways to block the road.

Then the arrival of the armored car. And all hell breaks loose: at the sight of the bandits, the driver accelerates and tries to break through the blockade, without success. The commando, armed to the teeth, starts shooting, covering the van with bullets. Two of the three vigilantes inside the van are injured in the legs by shrapnel. I am the driver, 38 years old, and the head escort, 51 years old. A third is miraculously unharmed. However, the three manage to save themselves while the bandits, using a grindstone, force open the doors and get their hands on the bags with the money. However, their action was interrupted by the arrival of the Carabinieri of the Sardinian Hunters Heliport Squadron . A firefight with the military is triggered. The commando escapes in two cars, abandoning a large part of the loot on the armored car. In the shooting, as mentioned, a 30-year-old woman was also injured in the arm, hit by a bullet, after finding her car blocked a few meters from the assault.

Obviously, traffic ends up haywire on the state road, while the forces of order carry out the surveys and the wounded are transported to the hospital in Sassari. Their conditions are not serious.

"Our armored vehicles are Kalashnikov-proof, the bandits must have used military weapons", explained the owner of Vigilpol, Giovanni Puggioni.

As for the booty, we still don't know the amount of the sum that the gang, put on the run by the carabinieri, managed to take away with a real war commando action.
