They do, they empty the slot machine in a bar. 3 arrested with the loot in the car. For the head, residence requirement in Lombardy

FANO Three people of Romanian origin have been arrested for aggravated theft, who were stopped by the police last Wednesday as they left a bar along Via Pisacane in Fano.

The investigation

The agents of the local police station recovered 800 euros in cash and a handmade tool made of wire. The wire connected to a sort of fake coin allows you to activate the slot and then recover the coin. The technique is defined as a goldfish and would have been used to extract cash from slot machines, the so-called slot machines. The arrest was validated during the hearing which took place yesterday in the Court of Pesaro and the trio is now awaiting trial. A precautionary measure has been ordered against a forty-five-year-old, who the police consider the leader of the group: the obligation to reside in Lombardy. It appears that in recent days the other two people, arrested by the police in collaboration with the municipality, came from Romania and found temporary support in the province of Rimini. Their trial will take place on May 20th.

Triple arrest

The triple arrest is a further result of Operation Safe Shop. A series of checks that the police station staff, coordinated by the manager Stefano Seretti, carries out to prevent thefts in bars in particular and in public establishments in general. Last Wednesday the public video surveillance system, managed by the local police, reported the passage of a suspicious car. A brand new Audi A5, which stopped in front of some public businesses along the Adriatica Sud state road and then along the Flaminia road, and then turned back. The police station staff believes that these were inspections and that the trio would have struck several times within the same day, if there had not been immediate intervention in via Pisacane.

The suspicion harbored by the police is therefore that the Audi A5 was a nightmare for the owners of bars and other public establishments. The forty-five year old would have sat at a slot machine in the bar in via Pisacane, while the other two, younger than the boss, around 35 years old, would have acted as a lookout: one at the entrance to the games room and the second in the rest of the place. The hearing to validate the arrests ended without precautionary measures for both younger people: the investigators attribute a more secluded role to them.
