Cecina speed camera destroyed by explosive charge

An explosive charge was used to destroy the only speed camera in Cecina, Italy, on Via Ginori. The device, which connects the town center to the coast, was targeted around 1:50 AM. Investigators from the State Police are currently working to determine the specific type of explosive used in the attack.

The speed camera, valued at approximately 100,000 euros, had been inactive for about two years due to a national census of such devices by the Ministry of Transport, but was recently reinstated on August 7. Local authorities noted that no recent traffic fines had been issued, suggesting the attack may not have been a direct retaliation by a driver.

Mayor Lia Burgalassi described the incident as both a significant financial loss and a disturbing act against equipment designed to ensure road safety and legality. Authorities have appealed to the public for any information regarding the attack.
