Daring Heist at DHL Hub

Published: 2024-11-03

In a meticulously planned heist, a group of at least 15 armed robbers targeted the DHL logistics hub in Monticelli d'Ongina, Piacenza.

The gang, divided into three teams, executed the raid by first neutralizing two security guards and then storming the facility to steal high-value electronic devices, including phones and tablets.

To prevent police intervention, the robbers blocked access roads with stolen vehicles, which they set on fire, and scattered tire-puncturing nails on the ground.

The estimated value of the stolen goods is around one million euros.

The criminals fled towards Cremona, and investigations are underway by local authorities to track down the perpetrators.
