On the morning of June 12th, the policemen of the Police Station of Mazara del Vallo executed the order for the application of a precautionary measure issued by the Court of Marsala, Office of the Judge for Preliminary Investigations, with which the measure was ordered of house arrest against a citizen of Mazara, born in 1966, as he was seriously suspected of the crime of aggravated robbery committed on May 12th at the “San Vito” Pharmacy located in Corso Vittorio Veneto in Mazara del Vallo.
In particular, at the hours 7:00 pm around May 12, a misrepresented person wearing a peaked cap and fleece hood burst into the San Vito Pharmacy and loudly ordered the two shop assistants present to hand over the money from the till. A second subject, with a distorted face, acted as a pole and remained immediately outside the business, near the door. The two shop assistants managed to escape into the street and call the single emergency number 112. Since the pharmacy is equipped with automatic checkouts, the two criminals were unable to remove the money and, shortly afterwards, fled in the direction of Via Santa Maria di Gesù. The police station squad quickly intervened on the spot.
The judicial police investigations, immediately started by the investigative section of the Mazarese police station, consisting of the scrupulous and timely acquisition and examination of the video-recorded images from the pharmacy’s video surveillance system, made it possible to identify with absolute certainty the person of a known criminal Mazarese, one of the perpetrators of the robbery who had remained unknown until then.
The latter was referred to the AG for the crime of aggravated robbery in collaboration with the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Marsala who, sharing the investigative conclusions of the PS Police Station, requested the competent GIP for a precautionary measure against him.
