### Sanremo: Baby Gang Attacks Minor for Stealing Bicycle
Late in the evening of Tuesday 4 June 2024, a patrol of the Guardia di Finanza of Imperia, on public utility service “117”, was alerted by a Ukrainian woman in the center of Sanremo. The lady, using a translation app on her smartphone, reported that her minor son had been attacked by two peers who had stolen his bicycle.
The victim, who did not know the attackers, said he was hit in the face and robbed of his bicycle, with the criminals then boarding a bus. After making sure the boy was okay, the financiers gathered information from those present, including a driver who indicated the bus route towards Ventimiglia.
The financiers intercepted the vehicle in San Pietro and, having found that the boys had gotten off at the “Borgo” stop, they continued their searches with the help of some witnesses, including a child who had seen the boys with an orange bicycle heading towards Borgo Tinasso.
In that area, the soldiers found the abandoned bicycle and identified the two boys, who initially provided elusive answers, but then admitted the assault and theft. The two Italian minors were reported for robbery to the competent Judicial Authority.
