Although he was under house arrest, he decided to drive his car, perhaps convinced that he can go unnoticed. But at the sight of the carabinieri he changed his mind and tried to escapeunleashing A chase first in the car and then on foot. To block him, yesterday evening, were the soldiers of the Radiomobile section of the Reggio Calabria Company.
It happened in the northern area of the city, in via Mercato, in the hamlet of Catona. During a control service of the territory, the carabinieri noticed the man – already known because they are subjected to the precautionary measure of house arrest – aboard his vehicle. At the sight of the patrol, he pressed on the accelerator in an attempt to sow the military.
The pursuit unfolded through some streets of the center until the fugitive found himself in a without exit road. He then abandoned the car, climbed over a wall and continued his escape on foot, but was reached and immobilized shortly after.
Accompanied in the offices of the radio section, the man was declared in arrest for evasion and resistance. At the end of the formalities, he was traced back to his home, where he will continue to serve the house arrest, pending the direct judgment.
An episode that demonstrates, once again, the attention and operational readiness of the carabinieri in presiding over the territory and intervening promptly to ensure compliance with the measures imposed by the judicial authority.
