A dramatic incident occurred on the SS613 highway in Italy when an armed commando ambushed a cash truck belonging to Btv, Battistolli. The attack took place near Tuturano, leading to a confrontation with Carabinieri who responded to the scene. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries amidst the chaos, although the situation remains dangerous as investigations by law enforcement are ongoing.

The assailants set a vehicle on fire, obstructing the highway and forcing the cash truck driver to stop. This ploy generated a substantial black smoke plume and led to significant traffic disruptions along the route. Firefighters were also called to the scene to manage the fire and assist in clearing the road, further complicating the situation for commuters.

The incident has raised concerns about security on public roads, particularly for cash transports, highlighting the risks faced by such operations. The response from local authorities, including the closure of the highway in both directions by Anas, reflects the seriousness of the crime and the need for a swift investigation to apprehend those involved in the armed assault.
