Castel Volturno: stolen van found thanks to GPS, 43-year-old Romanian reported

Castel Volturno – A GPS locator proved decisive for the Carabinieri of the Radiomobile Section of the Mondragone Territorial Department, who managed to recover a stolen van and report a 43-year-old Romanian for aggravated theft.

The vehicle, a Fiat Iveco Daily, had been reported stolen a few hours earlier in the province of Potenza. It was found in the Pescopagano area of ​​Castel Volturno.

It was the GPS tracking in real time that allowed the Carabinieri to reconstruct the route of the van, which took them near a bar in Pescopagano. Once they arrived on site, the military noticed a person who, at the sight of them, tried to hide behind a low wall.

The man, a 43-year-old Romanian national, was immediately stopped and searched. He was found in possession of the keys to the stolen van, as well as two box cutters with their spare blades, a switchblade, a flashlight, a two-way radio and a mobile phone without a SIM card.

The van was seized and handed over to a partner company, awaiting return to its rightful owner.
