"An armed gang posing as police blew up a security van on a motorway dubbed the modern day "Italian Job" on Sunday. Video footage shows armed men driving a black Alfa Romeo which had a blue light on the roof and forced the cash security van to a stop. The organised crime gang wore balaclavas and blocked the motorway with a large truck which was set a blaze blocking access for the police to attend the scene."
"Robbers then blew the doors off the rear of the security van using explosives as seen in the original1969 British comedy caper, the Italian Job movie starring Michael Caine. The real police arrived and an exchange of shots were fired between them and the organised crime gang. An onlooker who recorded the explosion said, "Look, look, look, look...They are robbing the van, look.""
"Once again, Carabinieri officers find themselves on the front line of a criminal action that is extremely violent and well-organised. The fact that a patrol was targeted with shots shows the high level of risk that our officers are being exposed to on a regular basis."
An armed gang disguised as police attacked a cash security van on a motorway in Puglia, blowing up the vehicle and freeing its contents. Video shows men in a black Alfa Romeo with a blue roof light forcing the van to stop while masked accomplices blocked the motorway with a burning truck to prevent police access. Explosives were used to blow the rear doors off the van. Carabinieri engaged the gang and an exchange of gunfire occurred. Police intercepted the Alfa Romeo near Squinzano, arresting two suspects and searching for four others. Regional police expressed concern over escalating mafia-linked violence.
