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.

Three police officers were killed Tuesday when a house exploded during a forced eviction in Castel D'Azzano, a town near Verona in northern Italy, officials said. The blast occurred as officers tried to enter the two-story building, which collapsed and buried them under the debris. At least 15 other police officers and firefighters were injured. The evacuation had been planned for several days after the occupants refused to leave the property, according to Italian media.
