Fugitive arrested in Ittiri after hiding in a sheepfold

Carabinieri officers captured a 42-year-old fugitive in the countryside of Ittiri, Sardinia, where he had been hiding in a sheepfold. The operation was carried out by the Alghero Company and the Sardegna Heliported Squad of the Carabinieri Hunters following an extensive observation and control mission.

The individual, originally from the Oristanese region and a resident of Monteleone Rocca Doria, was wanted for a final prison sentence involving crimes against persons and property, weapons and narcotics violations, and evasion. During the raid, the man attempted to flee on foot through dense vegetation but was intercepted by a containment perimeter established by the officers.

A 39-year-old local property owner was reported for personal favoritism and receiving stolen goods. Investigations revealed that the owner provided the fugitive with food, shelter, and logistical support. Additionally, a motorcycle stolen from Sassari on October 7 was recovered at the scene. The fugitive has been transferred to the Sassari-Bancali prison.
