Vitulano: A doctor returns home and surprises an armed robber with a gun pointed at his face.

Vitulano – A night of terror for a doctor from the Benevento area who, returning home, found himself face to face with a robber armed with a gun.

The dramatic incident occurred in Vitulano, a small town in the province of Benevento . The criminal had already entered the apartment and was completing a theft of valuables and jewelry when the homeowner returned and surprised him.

According to an initial reconstruction of events, the doctor opened the front door and discovered the thief in action. Caught in the act, the thief immediately pulled out a gun and pointed it at the doctor, threatening to let him escape without resistance. Intimidated by the threat, the man could do nothing but watch the criminal flee, taking the loot with him.

Once the robber left the scene, the doctor contacted the Carabinieri, who immediately responded to the scene. The officers began an investigation to identify the perpetrator and reconstruct the details of the break-in.

It cannot be ruled out that the thief had accomplices waiting for him outside the house or that he was a professional who had already committed similar robberies in the area.

Law enforcement is analyzing any video surveillance footage in the area and gathering witness statements. The incident has deeply shocked the community of Vitulano, which is now calling for increased nighttime patrols to ensure the safety of the area.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but the doctor who found himself on the brink of tragedy remains shocked.
