Thieves in action on the outskirts of Oppido Lucano in the afternoon of last day.
A call 112 by the manager of a wind farm company triggered the immediate intervention of the circuit patrols of the Carabinieri Company of Acerenza.
The soldiers of the Carabinieri, in a few minutes, they reached the place, catching the criminals while they were cutting the copper cables located inside the trunk of a wind turbine.
The criminals, who certainly did not expect such a timely arrival of the Carabinieri, were forced to escape to abandon burglary tools and equipment that the men of the Acerenza police force seized.
It was also recovered on site the van used by them and which would have been used to transport the stolen goods.
Following investigations, the vehicle was found to have been removed the previous night in Avigliano and was returned to its rightful owner at the end of the investigations carried out by the specialized personnel of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Acerenza Company.
Investigations are now underway to identify the criminals.
A thwarted theft and a recovered van testify once again the importance of timely calls to NUE 112 in order to allow the Carabinieri and law enforcement agencies in general to carry out an intervention which, as is increasingly the case, turns out to be decisive.
