From via Regione Siciliana to Calcarelle, passing through via Piersanti Mattarella, there were a total of seven thefts committed or merely attempted, in the night between Wednesday and Thursday, in Agrigento, within about a kilometer and a half. The Carabinieri and the police are dealing with the investigations. And it will, of course, be up to them to establish whether – as it seems – all the facts are attributable to the same “criminal hand”. It is not excluded that he had an accomplice acting as a “post”.
First he snuck into the “Anna Frank” school and the private nursery school in Via Regione Siciliana, after breaking windows and doors. In both cases he ransacked classrooms and offices but apart from the damage he stole nothing. Subsequently he moved to the headquarters of the Uil union in via Piersanti Mattarella, where he stole money from vending machines for drinks and snacks.
He then entered the dog grooming shop where he opened the cash register and removed 100 euros. In the same street he tried to enter a technical assistance business for household appliances and air conditioning, but since there was a dog inside he gave up. From there, a few meters away, he snuck into Caf Acli, where he appears to have taken only one camera. Roughly speaking, the same ‘modus operandi’ as the theft from Uil was carried out at the nearby university center in Calcarelle.
The criminal, after having grabbed the coins from the machines, hurt himself: he cut himself by shattering a glass window. And it was perhaps this that interrupted the trail of raids.
