A 37-year-old man from Terzigno was arrested after forcing a police checkpoint and leading officers on an 18-kilometre chase through the Vesuvian area, according to Il Mattino Napoli.
The driver, identified as Rosario Vorraro, was behind the wheel of a white Lancia Y. The pursuit began at around 11:20 p.m. near the Santa Lucia clinic in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, after the driver failed to stop at a checkpoint and allegedly attempted to ram police vehicles while fleeing.
The chase continued through San Giuseppe Vesuviano and Ottaviano before reaching State Road 268 near Terzigno. At one point it passed through San Gennarello di Ottaviano while a patronal festival was under way, creating a risk for people gathered in the area.
The flight ended with the arrest of the suspect, as reported in the headline account. Full details of the arrest location, the exact charges, and any subsequent judicial decision were not included in the available report, which is based on the newspaper's reconstruction.
