Carabinieri police were
involved in a shootout with five masked Kalashnikov-toting
bandits on Friday as they foiled a robbery in Sale, in the
northern province of Alessandria.
No one was injured in the shootout, which took place as the
gang tried to rob an armoured truck transporting gold and other
valuables.
The bandits managed to get away and a massive manhunt has
been launched throughout Piedmont.
