A lot of fear and a happy ending, these are the elements of a story which saw protagonists on one side, a 7 year old child and on the other the carabinieri of the Radiomobile Unit of the Provincial Command of Catania supported by colleagues of the “Horse Regiment”, based in Rome. Yesterday afternoon, around 4.35pm, a frightened mother contacted the Carabinieri Operations Center via the emergency number 112, reporting that she was alarmed because her 7-year-old child had moved away, in a moment of distraction for her and her husband, from the inside a well-known restaurant in Piazza Alcalà, getting lost, probably in the area between the arches of the marina and Via Plebiscito.
Research in the streets of Catania
The station, having received the description, immediately launched searches, concentrating all the car radios, motorcycle-mounted patrols and mounted police in the area. The street corners and shops adjacent to the place of removal were checked while colleagues from the “Horse Regiment” patrolled the very crowded Piazza Duomo, taking advantage of their privileged position and trying to identify the child from above. among the crowd.
The discovery and the happy ending
The Operations Center coordinated the device, providing continuous and incessant indications about the sectors on which to direct the searches until a phone call came to 112 reporting the presence of a child who, disoriented, was walking between Via Plebiscito and Garibaldi Street. Immediately a gazelle reached the area of the sighting, where it immediately tracked down the little boy while he was walking on Via Garibaldi, about a kilometer away from Piazza Alcalà. The police immediately notified the child’s mother and father of the discovery who, after about 30 minutes of fear, were able to hug the little one again. Before greeting the police, the child wanted a photo taken of him with them.
