The fight against predatory crimes by the carabinieri of the Paola Companyincreasing in the pre-Christmas period.

Yesterday evening the soldiers of the Paola Radiomobile Unit, supported in the operational phase by the Carabinieri station of Cetraro Marina, two foreigners, aged 34 and 22, who broke into a hotel under construction in Fiumefreddo Bruzio to remove the copper present in the systems were arrested red-handed for attempted improper robbery.

The intervention was requested by the owner of the construction company and his mother who heard the noise of metal objects coming from inside the hotel. The two young men, of Romanian origin, were caught cutting and stacking the copper pipes with wire cutters. Finding themselves discovered, they first attacked the owner and then knocked the mother to the ground to try to escape in their car, but their escape was hindered by the vehicle of the company’s legal representative. The robbers were stopped by the Carabinieri who intervened.

The arrested were transferred to the prison at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Paola, managed by the acting Prosecutor Ernesto Sassano.
