A car stolen a few days ago was found thanks to GPS, but it had already been reduced to a cube of scrap, technically known as a 'compressed car pack'. This is what happened in Cervino. A Ford Puma, stolen on February 21, was found thanks to the anti-theft system that continued to emit the geolocation signal. It was in the bin of a trailer along with other ferrous waste, hence the charge of receiving stolen goods against the owner of the vehicle, a haulier. This happened yesterday afternoon, when the Operational Centre of the Carabinieri Company of Maddaloni received a notification from a security services company about the geolocation of the sought-after car. The soldiers of the Santa Maria a Vico Station arrived at the address indicated by the detection system, in Cervino, where, however, they found no car matching the characteristics of the stolen one. Only thanks to the use of sophisticated technical equipment, consisting of a low-frequency radio wave signal detector, the military were able to locate, inside the bin of a trailer parked on Francesco I di Borbone street in Cervino, the sought-after car, now transformed into a compressed car pack and stored together with other ferrous waste. The recovered scrap was subjected to criminal seizure. The owner of the trailer was identified and reported, and will have to answer the charge of receiving stolen goods.
