They whistle, the flex gang attacks the tobacconist

The tobacconist in the heart of Lancusi receives a “visit” from the thieves but the alarm system scares the gang away. The commercial operation of They whistleto put it with bitter irony, is in some ways “subscribed” to theft attempts. Several times, even in past years, criminals have forced entry to steal, and unfortunately for the owners it didn’t always go badly with stolen goods amounting to thousands of euros including cigarettes and “scratch cards”. However, the experience must have taught us something and this time the mysterious gang found a surprise waiting for them which ruined the plan. It was around 3am between Monday and yesterday when a group of four peopleall with distorted faces, went into action at the commercial activity. The shop is located in Piazza Regina Margherita, one of the main meeting points in the hamlet of Lancusi, in the municipal area of ​​Fisciano.

The bandits were “armed” with flexes, burglary tool increasingly used by gangs. And in fact the unknown people had also succeeded in cutting the shutter, preparing to enter and raid. But at that point the alarm installed at the tobacconist was activated, complete with smoke bombs. The thieves then, probably realizing that the situation was not going well and the risk of being discovered was becoming quite high, preferred to give up the heist and run away.

Nothing in fact, in short, beyond the damage to the shutter which will be the only worry (although not negligible) for the owners of the business in the heart of the hamlet of Lancusi. In any case, the carabinieri of the local station, directed by the commander, investigate the incident Bruno Sacchinelli, with the coordination of the Company of San Severino marketunder the orders of the major Carlo Santarpia. The military personnel have already acquired video surveillance images, not only from private devices but also from public ones installed in the area.

Therefore, the trail of raids against tobacconists in the entire province, nor traders in the Irno Valley, does not stop. Among the most recent precedents, a double attack on service station bars: on the same night there was an attempted raid on the IP of BaronissiNeighbor at the Salerno-Avellino junctionand a theft at the Q8 in Fisciano on the former State Road 88, perhaps by the same people.
