The police hunt continues throughout northern Sardinia and in the province of Nuoro for the armed commando who yesterday evening attacked the vault of the Mondialpol surveillance institute in Caniga, on the outskirts of Sassari, shooting at eye level at a The carabinieri car, which was riddled with bullets, and against a traffic police patrol, rushed to the scene. The investigations, conducted by the Flying Squad of the Sassari police headquarters, are trying to reconstruct the gang’s movements before and after the robbery.
The dynamics of the assault
At the moment it is known that the commando was made up of around twenty bandits armed with Kalashnikovs, dressed in black and wearing bulletproof jackets, shortly before 8.30 pm they pulled an excavator up to the wall surrounding the Mondialpol headquarters in Caniga, and taking advantage of the arm length of the mechanical vehicle tore up a grill on the facade and broke through the wall of the building. While two criminals operated the mechanical vehicle, at least six using a ladder climbed over the fence and entered the Mondialpol headquarters, shooting into the air to scare the security guards.
Pension money
Several shots were also fired at the guardhouse and the officer inside was saved thanks to the bulletproof glass. The bandits took 5 or 6 bags containing money, probably money intended for the payment of pensions in a few days: the amount of the loot has not yet been quantified.
