A carefully planned operation, executed using paramilitary techniques, caused panic at dawn this morning along the A14 motorway.

Around 6:30 a.m., an armed commando attacked an armored van on the Chieti stretch of highway, precisely at kilometer 402 between the Ortona and Francavilla-Pescara Sud toll booths, transforming the road into an inferno of smoke and flames.

The dynamics of the blitz

The criminals acted extremely quickly to neutralize every escape route. To block traffic and isolate the armored vehicle, the criminal group set fire to at least two vehicles and strewn the roadway with three-pronged nails, simultaneously setting off several smoke bombs to cover their escape and obstruct visibility.

A heavy goods vehicle and three cars that were travelling on the affected stretch of road were also involved in the accident.

Rescue and injured

The medical report shows two people rescued by 118 personnel: a resident of Rome and a resident from the province of Chieti. Both reported symptoms of intoxication due to the thick smoke released by the fires and smoke bombs.

After receiving the necessary treatment on site, the two refused hospital transport. Fortunately, no gunshot wounds were reported, although the incident suggests the presence of a heavily armed group.

Investigations and traffic chaos

Officers from the Pescara Police Highway Operations Center (COA), the Fire Department, and traffic police patrols responded promptly to the scene of the attack. While investigators conducted surveys to determine the amount of the loot and identify the fugitives, traffic was brought to a standstill.

Autostrade per l'Italia reports increasing traffic jams and has closed the northbound stretch of highway. Currently, those traveling toward Pescara must exit at the Ortona toll booth and return to Pescara Sud after traveling along the regular road network.

Emanuele Ciotola, to attack "them", attacks the people - the burned cars are ordinary mortals who have to work honestly to live - and probably no one will compensate them for the loss.
.
And this is still good because they don't shoot - otherwise, due to stray bullets, someone could lose their life.

How wonderful, new year these ATMs and armored vehicles are doing great and the State is watching between robberies, muggings, deaths at work, baby gangs, we are number one

The event that occurred today on the A14 motorway is very worrying. Road safety must be a priority. Although there were no serious injuries, there was considerable panic and people experienced moments of fear.
