Motorcycle pursuits by Italian Carabinieri

Overview

Throughout August 2026, several high-speed motorcycle pursuits involving the Carabinieri occurred across various Italian regions.

In Castelletto Ticino, a 37-year-old man was placed under house arrest after a chase through Piazza 25 Aprile and Corso Matteotti. The suspect performed dangerous maneuvers and was found to be operating an uninsured motorcycle.

In Numana, a young motorcyclist was reported to judicial authorities after fleeing a routine patrol in the Riviera del Conero area. The pursuit ended when the driver entered a roundabout in the wrong direction; the individual was found to be driving without a license.

A more extensive pursuit occurred between Brescia and Verona, where a 55-year-old man reached speeds of 210 km/h and drove against the flow of traffic. The 70-kilometer chase ended in Rivoli Veronese when the driver collided with a Carabinieri vehicle. Authorities discovered narcotics on his person, and the individual, who has prior criminal records, was arrested.
