Two men caught with burglary tools: reported and removed from the city
During the checks, the Carabinieri reported two men residing in Filandari and Ionadi for unjustified possession of altered keys and lock picks (art. 707 of the criminal code). The two were stopped in the Moderata Durant area aboard a suspicious car: inside the vehicle the military found a bag containing electronic and mechanical tools that could be used for breaking into and stealing cars, which were then seized.
