One hundred and thirty-six arrests and 1,039 reports. And then 915 public order services with the overall use of over 1,800 soldiers, both from the Provincial Command and from the ninth Carabinieri Battalion "Sardegna" of Cagliari, in particular during the protests against the transport of wind turbines to the Industrial Port this summer.

These are some numbers from the activity of the Provincial Command of Oristano. There has been a 3% decrease in reported crimes (1904 in 2024 against 1962 in 2023).

The fight against scams targeting the elderly is also ongoing, with the perpetrators tracked down and stopped in Sardinian ports while they were boarding ferries. Among the most important operations, in February, was a foiled robbery at a bank in Santa Giusta, with the arrest of one of the perpetrators inside the institution and the accomplice who had already boarded the ferry in Cagliari to escape to the "continent".

The balance also includes three arrests carried out following investigations into a robbery at a post office in Ollastra in December 2023 and another seven arrests carried out between July for an attempted murder. Again, in August, with an arrest carried out in a few hours following a murder that occurred at night in Santa Giusta.

Regarding anti-drug activity, the military of the Provincial Command, with the support of the Helicopter Squadron "Cacciatori Sardegna" and the eleventh Carabinieri Helicopter Nucleus of Elmas, in 2024 there were 38 arrests, 60 reports, 87 reports for possession of narcotics for personal use. Also seized were 691 kilos of marijuana, four large plantations of several thousand cannabis indica plants, two kilos of cocaine.
