He was attempting the big coup, the theft of 500 kilos of copper coils at the Italcementi plant in Nuraminis. But it wasn't the first time he had stolen the material: the carabinieri of the Sanluri company decided to carry out a series of stalking, catching the man in the act.

A 37-year-old Romanian ended up in handcuffs: at the time of his arrest the thief had already loaded half a ton of copper on his car, a Mazda SUV, with 18 rolls of very thick cables just stolen from the industrial plant.

He was not alone, but the two accomplices managed to escape into the surrounding countryside and are now wanted by the military. Meanwhile, the arrested person will be subjected to trial with the most direct rite.
