Naples. Yesterday evening, a deputy sergeant from the Varcaturo station, off duty, arrested a woman who had just snatched the cell phone from an employee of a pizzeria in the Spanish Quarters.
It was around 21:00 PM when the pizzeria employee, screaming desperately, attracted the attention of passersby on Via Speranzella. She had just been robbed of her smartphone by a woman who then fled.
The intervention of the vice brigadier
The deputy sergeant, who was in the area with his family for dinner, heard the woman's screams and, realizing what had happened, started chasing the thief.
