BOLZANO. A 38-year-old woman from Bolzano, already known to the police (last May she was arrested for damaging 6 cars, breaking their windows, between Via Claudia Augusta and Via Santo Rosario), was reported by the police headquarters for theft from a shop in the historic center.
The woman had stolen some banknotes from the till of a herbalist’s shop and then threatened the owner, saying that she would hit her with a used syringe. Stopped near Rome bridge. In his backpack, more stolen goods were found from a supermarket in Museum Street.
The same day l’Ipes with the help of the police he had proceeded to evict her and remove her from an apartment in the institute that he had transformed into a shelter for criminals as well as a base for the commission of crimes, the police headquarters reports.
“The timely request for intervention made by the owner of a shop in the city center was fundamental in identifying and bringing to justice a multiple-recidivist criminal. Unfortunately, it happens with increasing frequency that convicted criminals caught stealing from commercial establishments react with disproportionate violence, endangering the safety of employees, security personnel and law enforcement officers”, commented the commissioner Paul Sartori.
