A fifty -eight year old from Messina, already known to the police, attempted a theft in a house. But this time, the fate – and the police – closed the door in his face. That of the bathroom of a bar.
Yesterday, a call to 112 triggered the alarm: a stranger had been surprised inside a house in the village of Paradiso. In a few moments, the steering wheels of the State Police have turned on sirens and flashing, and have fallen on the spot.
Just nearby, on the Consular Via Pompea, the scene that presented himself in front of the eyes of the agents was that of a woman in tears, sitting at the table of a bar that indicated to the policemen where the manager was located.
The man had introduced himself to his home while she was in the bedroom. He had already put his hands on his wallet, stealing cash. As soon as the woman discovered it, the thief dropped the stolen goods and attempted to escape on foot. But he had not dealt with the cold blood of the victim, who chased him on the street, to see him disappear inside the bathroom of a bar not far away. And it is precisely there that the agents have settled it: still frantic, the short breath and the face marked by the race and the break.
The man was arrested in the act of crime and, at the disposal of the judicial authority, immediately subjected to house arrest. Today, after the very direct rite, the judge confirmed the precautionary measure, complete with electronic bracelet.
