A commando of at least 10 people attacked an armored van and two other armored vehicles of the Vigilpol on the state road 131 'Carlo Felice', in the Sassari area, at the height of the crossroads for Siligo.
The attack took place this morning, around 8.15:2. The robbers blocked the road in both directions using chains and setting fire to vehicles. Then, about XNUMX km from the blocks, they used a garbage truck and blocked the roadway, causing the first vehicle of this column of armored vehicles to hit.
The driver of the first armored vehicle was seriously injured in the impact and was taken away by helicopter. Four other security guards were not seriously injured.
The robbers then opened the vehicles with metal circular saws and took away the contents inside, which have not yet been quantified.
The police are still looking for the criminals, who fled towards Mores on board a pick-up and a Fiat Panda, which were found shortly after set on fire a few kilometers from the site of the attack.
The anti-robbery plan has been launched throughout Sardinia and numerous roadblocks have been set up everywhere.
On a provincial road that runs parallel to state road 131, at the point where the assault on the three Vigilpol armored vehicles took place this morning, a bag containing explosive material was found. Currently, the State Police bomb squad is engaged in the delicate task of defusing the material found.
