A daring chase took place yesterday afternoon in Castel Volturno, where a 37-year-old Ghanaian, already known to the police for theft and receiving stolen goods, attempted to escape a Carabinieri checkpoint aboard a stolen Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
The man, intercepted in Viale Donatello, forced the roadblock by accelerating dangerously and invading the opposite lane in the wrong direction. A high-speed chase began for about three kilometers, with risky maneuvers that endangered road safety.
The military of the Mondragone Territorial Department, with great caution, managed to block the fugitive in viale Melchiorre Caffa, where he attempted to escape on foot before being immobilized. The car, which was found stolen in Santa Maria Capua Vetere in November 2023, was recovered. The man was arrested and held in the security cells of the Tenenza di Castel VolturnoHe will have to answer for resisting a public official and receiving stolen goods.

The article describes a chase that seems very dangerous and problematic. But I wonder how it is possible that people continue to steal cars and run away. Something more must be done to stop this crime, don't you think?
