It is a ruthless commando that this morning on the highway 131 Carlo Felice attacked a security van belonging to the Vigilpol company, opening fire on the security guards, two of whom were injured together with a girl, unrelated to the robbery, shot at an arm from a bullet.
The bandits, six to ten according to the first reports, blocked the road in both directions, in the section between the junctions for Thiesi and Giave.
To stop the armored car proceeding in the direction of Cagliari, they scattered nails on the asphalt and used a van and a small car, set on fire, to block the road.
In the opposite direction they blocked an articulated lorry threatening the driver with a rifle and put the vehicle sideways.
In a video shot by a passing motorist, which went viral on chats, the robbery is seen live, a few meters from the assault.
Gunshots are clearly heard, the screams and the silhouettes of at least three robbers can be glimpsed beyond the smoke screen of the burning vehicles.
A manhunt has begun throughout Sardinia to try to intercept the bandits.
The investigations are carried out by the carabinieri of the provincial command of Sassari, with the collaboration of all the forces of order.
Two cars used by the robbers to escape have already been found, charred, in the Badde Salighes area, in the province of Nuoro.
Numerous checkpoints of the carabinieri, police and financial police have been activated on the main arteries that could have been used by the commando to escape.
Mobilize all the forces of order who are scouring half of Sardinia, even with the use of helicopters.
According to a first estimate, the loot taken away by the commando would be small.
