Officers from the Quartu Police Station are conducting a thorough investigation following the explosion that devastated the cigarette vending machine at the tobacconist's on Via Vittorio Emanuele , also on Via 4 Novembre, last night. The police are examining footage from cameras located in the area and are also questioning several people in the hope of obtaining any useful evidence.
Investigations are also underway regarding the rudimentary explosive device , which, packed with a significant amount of gunpowder, could be considered primarily an act of intimidation. The explosion not only destroyed the tobacconist's vending machine, but also shattered the windows of the apartment above, where the tenant, a 35-year-old Chinese man, was injured by a shard of glass after one of the windows in the same apartment exploded. In short, an excessive charge for smashing a vending machine.
The investigation is proceeding with the utmost discretion: nothing has leaked from the Police Station offices, where a comprehensive investigation is underway, without ruling out any hypothesis.
