Thirty robberies involving banks, supermarkets, and jewelry stores, nineteen stolen cars, and a string of robberies across Sassari, Northern Sardinia, and the Campidano region. The Sassari Public Prosecutor's Office recently closed its investigation into three men accused of carrying out a series of robberies targeting businesses, supermarkets, and banks between 2024 and 2025, including the Tuttigiorni on Viale Poetto in Cagliari. The investigation concerns 50-year-old Serbian Dragan Hadzovic, 30-year-old Stefano Sejdovic, and 32-year-old Robyn Azdovic, the latter two of Slavic origin but born in Italy. Hadzovic and Azdovic are being defended by attorney Danilo Mattana, while Sejdovic is being represented by attorney Anna Busia. The trio are facing charges, filed by prosecutor Lara Senatore, of theft, receiving stolen goods, and resisting arrest.

Specifically, 30 attempted and successful thefts occurred, including banks, hypermarkets, jewelry stores, and betting shops, as well as 19 stolen cars, each with license plates from other vehicles. Eleven were Alfa Romeo Giuliettas , the preferred model, and the rest were Fiats, ranging from Doblò to Fiorino to Qubo , with the exception of a Citroën Jumper . The trio, along with other unknown individuals, allegedly rampaged through Northern Sardinia, initially using an almost identical method: breaking into the premises and then removing the safe outside using straps attached to the vehicles. At the end of 2024, they allegedly carried out one of their first raids at the Tuttigiorni market in Sassari, stealing €600.

Banks are the favorites: from Trinità d'Agultu, whose attempt failed at the end of October 2024, to Tissi's, two days later, which suffered the same fate. The stocks often accumulate on the same night: on November 3, 2024, they allegedly stole €70,000 in jewelry from a jewelry store in Ploaghe, and shortly thereafter, from a hypermarket in Porto Torres. The big heist was at Apple in Sassari, where they allegedly stole €60,000 in merchandise. They then moved at high speed that same night to Predda Niedda to steal, according to the charges, also €7,000 from the Blackstone store. When they didn't want to leave any traces, the perpetrators sprayed cars with fire extinguisher powder , which, needless to say, was also stolen. Gradually, perhaps sensing that law enforcement was approaching, they moved on. At the Conad supermarket in Olbia, there is talk of a theft of almost 15,000 euros contained in the safe, while in Arzachena the loot is "meager" for the cash register, 5,000, but considerable for the fine wines: 36,000 euros.

In Uri, they allegedly stole €5,000 from the Banco di Sardegna, and initial attempts in Campidano were unsuccessful. Smoke bombs, alarms, and police thwarted the operations in Iglesias, Serdiana, Selargius, and Decimomannu in November 2024. They "retaliated" in Cagliari, from Win City, "relieved" of €22,000, to Super Pan, €15,000, and in a bar in Dolianova, which bore the brunt of the attack, being robbed of more than €8,000, plus the Tuttigiorni, also in Cagliari, which, in 2025, lost more than €4,000. The sequence is shocking and does not spare even Hardis in Decimomannu, the Compass Agency in Iglesias, and above all the Iper Pan in Sestu, on December 19, 2024, from which a full €65,000 disappeared. But by then the Carabinieri had tightened their grip on the three, who were arrested in August 2025 in a joint operation between the military of Cagliari and Sassari.
