Carabinieri intervened during the night on Corso San Giovanni in Naples after a stolen car was found overturned in the middle of the road with an improvised explosive device inside.
The alert came through the 112 emergency number. Patrols from Napoli Poggioreale arrived at civic number 834, in San Giovanni a Teduccio, and found a Dacia Sandero lying on its side. No one was inside the vehicle.
What investigators found
Inside the car, investigators found an improvised explosive device made from approximately half a kilo of powder, along with fingerprints and blood traces.
Investigative carabinieri and bomb-disposal specialists from the Naples provincial command attended the scene.

The source does not say who placed the device or what it was intended for, nor does it identify the persons associated with the fingerprints and blood traces. No arrests or suspects were reported, and the investigation was ongoing.
