Spice – He stole a necklace with two pendants of particular sentimental value to a disabled young man and sold it to a ‘gold buyer’ but was identified and arrested by the men of the La Spezia flying squad in execution of a precautionary custody order issued by investigating judge De Bellis.
After the theft, the threats
The thief, aged 23, took advantage of the disability of his peer and with an excuse managed to take off the gold necklace. The investigations immediately launched by the flying squad established that the perpetrator could be identified as the person indicated by the victim, already known to the police.
The investigations at the city’s “gold buyers” made it possible to recover the jewel that the suspect had sold immediately after the commission of the crime for just under 500 Euros. The recovered necklace and pendants were returned to the victim.
In the following days the thief further harassed his victim in retaliation for reporting him. Given the seriousness of the conduct, the judicial authority issued restraining order against the twenty-three year old, carried out yesterday afternoon. The boy is charged with the crimes of aggravated theft, self-laundering and private violence.
