Shooting thieves for attempted theft, reported in Bolognese by the caretaker of a farm

A 63-year-old Italian security guard working at an electromechanical factory in Crespellano, near Bologna, fired several shots from his revolver (caliber 357 Magnum) during a suspected break-in on Sunday morning. The bullets did not fire properly and embedded into the factory wall. According to the military police, the man was not authorized to work as a private security officer and had an expired firearms permit dating back to 2014. The incident occurred after an alarm system triggered around 6 AM on July 19. The suspect was driving a forklift, loading copper coils into two vans, supported by accomplices. When confronted, the driver allegedly drove toward the guard, prompting him to fire his weapon. The thieves fled, abandoning their vehicles and stolen goods. All vehicles were seized pending judicial investigation. The guard has been reported to prosecutors for illegal possession of weapons, unauthorized practice of a profession, and dangerous discharges.

He shoots thieves to thwart a robbery in the company.

A 63-year-old Italian man, who was acting as a security guard at an electromechanical factory in Crespellano, Bologna, shot into the air with a .357 Magnum revolver to scare off thieves attempting to steal copper coils. The incident occurred early on July 19 when the alarm system triggered. According to the investigation by the Carabinieri, the man used his gun after confronting the thieves, who were using a forklift to load stolen goods into two vans. Although the bullets did not hit anyone and embedded themselves in the factory wall, the thieves fled, leaving behind their vehicles. However, the man was later denounced by the Carabinieri because he was working without proper authorization and had an expired firearms permit dating back to 2014. Authorities seized the revolver used in the incident along with five other weapons stored at his home.
