Italy (Monitoring Desk): In Italy, armed robbers disguised in police uniforms attempted a cinematic-style cash van heist, which was successfully foiled. The incident occurred on State Road 613, where the suspects blocked a truck in the middle of the road and set it on fire.
According to reports, the robbers tried to create the illusion of a police operation by turning on vehicle lights, mimicking officers managing an emergency. During the attempt, an explosion occurred near the armored cash van, followed by an exchange of gunfire between the suspects and police.
Civilians on the road were forced to stop their vehicles, and the robbers attempted to seize cash and valuables. However, the heist ultimately failed. While fleeing, the suspects fired at a police vehicle, prompting police action that led to the arrest of two suspects, with others managing to escape.
