'Commandos' who robbed security vans got away with 4 mn. The group of at least 10 robbers held up three Vigilpol security vans in a commando-style operation on a state highway near Sassari.

The gang opened fire on the vans, injuring a security guard in the leg, and set a vehicle alight during the hold-up. Police in Sassari on Thursday staged dawn raids to search the homes of people suspected of being linked to the gang. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Copyright ANSA.
