Several months after the robbery at the Ollastra post office , the police have identified the alleged perpetrators. Three precautionary custody orders were carried out against them for robbery aggravated by the use of weapons and by means of misrepresentation and illegal carrying of firearms in a public place.
A 21-year-old, believed to be the leader of the group, and a 32-year-old ended up in prison, while a 47-year-old was placed under house arrest. They are all characters already known to the police.
The raid was successful on 11 December 2023. Around 3pm two bandits entered the post office, with their faces covered. One was holding a gun and, by threatening the official, they had the money contained in the coffers handed over: 34 thousand euros. Then the two fled to reach an accomplice, who was waiting for them in a car.
Through searches, statements from people informed about the facts and analysis of video surveillance cameras, the police discovered that during the escape the robbers had immediately changed the clothes they were wearing and had turned off their cell phones before and after the robbery in an attempt not to be identified. Measures that didn't help, the military still managed to trace their identity. The leader of the group is described by the Carabinieri investigators as a particularly shrewd young man, known in the criminal world of the province of Oristano, who recognized a certain authority in him for his role as leader.
