In the car he had a stolen rifle, a switchblade and ammunition. A 31-year-old from Lanusei was arrested in the Talana countryside for resisting a public official, receiving stolen goods and illegal possession of weapons. The facts date back to the night of November 30, when the Carabinieri stopped the young man during a territory control operation.
The military noticed the 31-year-old while he was on board his car in the locality of “Su Fundale”. The firearm was found on the passenger seat. Visibly worried, the man resisted the men of the Carabinieri, pushing them and fleeing into the woods. He was then tracked down along the old ss 389 in the direction of Villanova Strisaili.
During the search of the car, a 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun equipped with a flashlight (which was found to be stolen), a switchblade and 3 cartridges were found and seized.
Once the formal procedures were completed, the arrested man was taken to the “San Daniele” prison in Lanusei and is now under house arrest.
