Italy witnessed a real-life action movie! On Monday morning Feb. 9) around 8 am, about 10 masked and armed robbers ambushed an armored vehicle on a local highway, resulting in a fierce gunfight with the Italian Carabinieri.
Videos circulating online show the robbers first setting fire to a truck, creating chaos and blocking traffic, before attempting to blow open the armored vehicle with explosives. Although the armored vehicle was severely damaged, the robbers' plan failed due to the activation of security defense mechanisms.
Local media reported that after the Carabinieri arrived, an intense gun battle erupted between the two sides. The criminals, armed with AK-47 rifles and explosives, used quasi-military tactics against the police. One police car was struck by three bullets, while another reconnaissance vehicle was rammed by robbers during the chase.
During their escape, the robbers also hijacked civilian vehicles along the road and scattered spikes. The police subsequently discovered an abandoned Alfa Romeo in the suburbs and arrested two suspects who attempted to flee. Fortunately, there were no injuries to police or civilians during the incident.
