They were both on board the bus line 6 when the driver noticed that something was wrong. That the man was bothering the old woman, asking her questions about when and where she would get off. When she replied ‘at the next stop’, the man got behind her and while they were both getting off, or when they were already on the street – this is still to be clarified – he snatched her gold chain with the crucifix which the elderly woman, who also suffers from serious disabilities, had around her neck. In the meantime, fortunately, the bus driver had alerted the police and a police patrol quickly arrived at the place where the bus had stopped. The Carabinieri immediately identified the man who, upon seeing the soldiers, attempted to escape capture by the Carabinieri and in his escape attempted to get rid of the stolen goods. But he was stopped shortly afterwards and arrested on suspicion of theft by snatching. Fortunately, the old woman did not suffer any major physical consequences, other than an abrasion where the chain was torn. In the next few days there will be a hearing to validate the arrest of the man who also has some specific precedents to his credit. A few days ago a similar theft was carried out, again against an elderly woman who had stopped to look through the windows of a shop in Cortevecchia. She was standing with her son when she felt herself being pulled from behind her, at the level of her neck: also in this case a gold chain was stolen, but the person responsible for her had managed to escape .
