In addition to night hunting in a period of hunting silence, the two poachers were found in possession of a twelve-gauge shotgun with abraded serial number, various cartridges, three switchblade knives and five torches. Immediate arrest for the two poachers, who, after the formalities, ended up in the Buoncammino prison in Cagliari.
