The Ris carabinieri are looking for biological traces on the vehicles burned in the attack on the Mondialpol armored car which took place yesterday morning on state road 125, near Tertenia. The samples are necessary to reconstruct DNA. After the activity carried out yesterday, the soldiers of the Scientific Investigations Department could continue the inspection today on the vehicles seized by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Lanusei.
Tertenia, assaltato un portavalori: spari e mezzi in fiamme. Ora è caccia ai banditi
The carabinieri of Jerzu's company and the Nuoro investigative unit, coordinated by prosecutor Giovanna Morra, swept through the entire area with checkpoints and searches. The interrogations of people involved and witnesses continue, some of whom were already interviewed briefly yesterday. Investigators are hunting about ten men, armed with semi-automatic rifles and Kalashnikovs, who yesterday at 8.15am blocked the van which left Cagliari with the money destined for the Ogliastra post offices. It is not clear whether they stole the money from the safe contained inside the armored vehicle.
In the action, the criminals deployed two previously stolen vans and a truck to avoid help coming from the southern area. Then, probably, they fled along the Su Marchesu road, parallel to the Orientale and with the sole destination of the Tertenia area.
