Nola, flees with stolen car at roadblock: chased and arrested

Nola – A 43-year-old man, resident in Castello di Cisterna and with a specific police record, was arrested by the State Police in Nola after a daring chase.

The individual, driving a stolen car, did not stop at the checkpoint and attempted to flee, putting road traffic at risk.

Chase and block in Via San Paolo Belsito

Yesterday afternoon, officers from the Nola Police Station, during a territorial control operation, noticed a man on board a car who, at their sight, accelerated in an attempt to elude control. A chase ensued during which the driver performed several dangerous maneuvers.

The escape ended in via San Paolo Belsito, where the 43-year-old was caught and stopped, although with no small difficulty. The police immediately ascertained that the car showed clear signs of forced entry and that it had been stolen shortly before in via Foro Boario.

For these reasons, the man was arrested for aggravated theft, and the car was promptly returned to its rightful owner.
