When the police officers reached Viale Nervi, in Latina, after reporting 112, they found a man fiddling with a backpack in his hand in front of some vending machines. Shortly before, he had already taken a smart TC and other electronic devices out of the building. This is how the police prevented a theft at the headquarters of the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Latina.
A 34-year-old man was arrested last night in the act of committing a crime. Having received a report of a suspicious man who had entered the building, the flying squad agents reached the headquarters in viale Nervi, climbed over the fence to access the building and found themselves in front of the door of entrance, televisions and other electronic devices. Then, upon crossing the threshold, they found the man who was evidently intent on breaking into some vending machines. At the sight of the men in uniform, conspicuously cornered, the man did not resist. He was blocked and arrested.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the 34-year-old had cleaned the rooms on the first two floors and the fifth, taking away electronic material found in the offices. The thief also managed to gain access to the building’s concierge, where he damaged a monitor and a coffee machine. After the investigations, at the disposal of the judicial authority, he was taken to the security rooms of the police station to await immediate judgement.
