“I chased and rear-ended, but I unmasked the man from the white Citroen”

PADUA A sharp blow on car body and a car that flanks you and tries to convince you to stop at the side of the road. It is the scam of the hand mirror which returned to claim victims in the North ring road, in particular between Pontevigodarzere and Limena.

In the last week, more than a few motorists reported to the police that they had been the victim of the scam, others, who did not stop despite the insistence, in any case phoned the emergency numbers to report the fact. One also said he was chased for a few kilometers.
The tam tam of the reports runs on social networks, with victims alerting other motorists: “If you see a Citroen Ds4 White approaching and then you hear a bang, pay attention, do not stop and report to those in charge ». It is the appeal of Alex Favaretto, who just the other night, around 5, was aimed at by the suspect car.

THE WITNESS
The man says: «It was 5 in the morning, I was returning from Villa Barbieri and to go home I have to take the Tangenziale towards Limena. When I arrived at Pontevigodarzere I heard a bang. The Citroen driver must have thrown a rubber ball at me, because I don’t have any marks on the bodywork, but at that point he got in front of me and forced me to pull over ».
Favaretto, however, understood that it was the mirror tactic, because he was certain he had not hit that car. “I had to to approach, but first I photographed the car. The driver, a man with a Neapolitan accent, alone, tried to start with his “little game”, but I immediately told him that I knew his technique well and I would not have fallen for it. So he left again and started running on the ring road while I was behind him and called the carabinieri. Then I lost sight of him. I reported the fact to 112, but it is right that people know that these characters are around and how they act ».

PREVIOUS
There have been other episodes in the past few weeks. “The same car did a similar thing to me on July 16 – highlights another motorist, SB, also on the ring road – they dented The car’s door”.
It was worse for a girl, who did not have the readiness to understand that it was a scam: «It happened to me 3 weeks ago. They asked me for 200 euros, I only had 20 and they were satisfied ». But there is no lack of “heavy” methods: “I was also hooked before the exit for Pontevigodarzere – explains CV – I heard a blow on the roof and a white car with two on board who wanted me to stop, they tried it three times surpassing me and putting the four arrows ».
