The call to the police started from an employee and the bomb squads, the police and the carabinieri were brought to the scene to find out if it was a bomb or an abandoned backpack
TREVISO. Bomb alarm in the headquarters of the social policy offices of Treviso on Tuesday. A backpack abandoned between the garden and the bushes, near the park behind the building, cables that came out, in plain sight, with the intent to scare. This was enough to evacuate those present and call police trucks, carabinieri, firefighters and bomb squads back to via Vittorio Veneto.
Inside a motorcycle battery connected to cables without ignition or explosive, but no doubt that the goal was to make believe that there was a bomb inside. Let’s go in order. the alarm went off shortly after seven in the morning. A passing lady noticed something strange, so she picked up and dialed the operations center number of 113. Which alerted the social services staff. The usher did the rest, contacting the police, the commissioner, evacuating those who were already inside. In a short time, the protocol provided for in these cases was activated. Because from the wires that came out, it really seemed that there might be an explosive device inside.
And given the precedent of the man who threatened to blow himself up in front of the Treviso court and the one who wanted to set himself on fire a few weeks earlier, the hypothesis of a bomb was certainly not to be discarded. The area was demarcated with red and white tape, employees turned away. bomb squads The bomb squads arrived on the spot, who ascertained it was neither a trigger nor a bomb and that the backpack did not contain explosives.
At that point, the men of the Digos of the Treviso police headquarters, who are coordinating the investigations, and subsequently the agents of the Scientific Police, inspections team, who have detected every clue or footprint, went into action. All the material was seized.
Around 11.30 the situation normalized. In any case, the offices closed for the strictly necessary, about half an hour, the time to verify that there was no danger of explosion. intimidating act The first evidence is that the motor of the motorcycle, placed in the backpack and connected to the wires, was there not by chance, but to scare, create alarm, threaten. Digos is investigating whether it is the gesture of a single angry person seeking attention, or a more complex threat.
«It was an intimidating act, this is evident» commented the commissioner Gloria Tessarolo «we have no suspicion, the audience is many and varied, it could have been anyone. There are many striking gestures, it is not up to us to connect the facts, we just help people. I am very bitter, we are in contact with people and we never stop to give answers. A lot of bitterness, I repeat and lack of respect for the staff: this is not the way to ask for help ». the investigations The municipality will formalize the complaint. Digos investigates three hundred and sixty degrees. The video surveillance systems are being viewed to understand where those who left the backpack entered from, if they went over the gates, if they entered at night or yesterday morning. The data will be crossed, the latest threats received, every clue that could lead to understand who did it and why
