Police in the northern town of
Vipiteno near the Austrian border on Friday seized a non-street
legal car outfitted in James Bond-like style, after they were
called to the scene for a reported fight.
The car, which included modifications such as a hidden
control panel with buttons to activate a blue light between the
windscreen and the roof of the car, belonged to a private
security guard who was wearing a belt with a semi-automatic
pistol that police also seized.
Police conducted a search of the security guard's home and
found counterfeit police gear, a fake plastic bomb with a
digital timer, a crossbow with arrows, a handmade chromed steel
police baton, and a small arsenal of bladed weapons, all of
which they seized.
The man was cited for possession of counterfeit police
gear.
