They had planned the heist in detail. But they hadn't counted on a series of unexpected events that, two days ago, thwarted the robbery at the Spinnaker campsite in Torregrande. The two hooded thieves were first spotted by a young man running through the pine forest and raised the alarm.
Then they got stuck with the car, and finally one was stopped by the Carabinieri of the Radiomobile, while the accomplice managed to escape . A 29-year-old from Cabras ended up in Massama prison (the arrest was validated by the judge).
The daring theft occurred shortly after 7:00 a.m.: the two managed to enter the campsite and immediately headed to the warehouse where a generator, drills, and grinders were kept.
They stowed the various tools (worth €7,000) in a minivan at the campsite and then loaded them into the Lancia Y they drove to the village. The scene was noticed by a young man who, while running, witnessed the theft and was even threatened by the two men. However, he was undaunted and raised the alarm. Meanwhile, the thieves attempted to escape, but the car got stuck in the sand and mud of the dirt road. The man was stopped by the Carabinieri Radiomobile, and the stolen goods were recovered and returned.
