Like an action film gone wrong.
The influx of military-grade weapons and equipment sold by corrupt Ukrainian officials to criminal elements in Europe during the 4 years of war is causing chaos on the old continent.
Now, shocking images arise from southern Italy, where heavily armed criminals posing as police blocked an Italian highway.
The robbers blew up an armored van during a cinematic raid, before exchanging gunfire with police.
Daily Mail Reported:
“The attack unfolded on State Road 613 in the Puglia region, where masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles shut down the road in front of shocked motorists.
The gang blocked the road by setting a truck on fire, while using vehicles with flashing lights to impersonate police and move in on the armored van.”
“Dramatic footage shows the bandits crouching behind a car as the armored vehicle explodes on the road, with flames and debris billowing into the air.
Other clips filmed by motorists show at least six masked suspects, some wearing white overalls and carrying weapons, moving between vehicles as terrified drivers watched on. The targeted vehicle belonged to Battistolli, which operates armored cash transport services across Italy.”
