"A masked gang armed with Kalashnikov rifles brought an Italian motorway to a standstill early Monday after blowing apart an armored truck packed with cash in a brazen daylight heist. The attack unfolded shortly after 8 a.m. local time on a stretch of road linking the Italian towns of Lecce and Brindisi in the country's southern region of Puglia. Around six men, wearing balaclavas and dressed in either black clothing or white overalls,"
"The gang appeared to swiftly unload the van's contents into waiting cars, while at least one armed suspect crouched behind a vehicle to provide cover. Italian media reported that motorists caught in the ambush may also have been robbed, though authorities have not confirmed how much cash was taken. Police arriving at the scene came under fire, triggering a shootout that left a patrol car with a bullet hole in its windscreen, although no officers were reported injured."
An armed gang attacked a BTV armored cash-in-transit van on the SS 613 highway between Lecce and Brindisi in Puglia shortly after 8 a.m., detonating an explosive that ripped off the vehicle's doors and roof. Around six masked men, armed with Kalashnikov rifles and wearing balaclavas and black clothing or white overalls, boxed in the van before looting its contents into waiting cars while at least one suspect provided cover. The blast stopped traffic and motorists may have been robbed. Police came under fire, a patrol car was hit, no officers were injured. Two men were arrested after abandoning a white Alfa Romeo; others remain at large amid an intensive manhunt near Squinzano.
