He had targeted a black and orange electric bike kept in the garage of a house in Portico di Caserta and he had almost succeeded in his intent, if it had not been for the timely intervention of a carabiniere from the Ustica station, who, despite being on leave and living nearby, noticed what was happening.
The soldier immediately alerted his colleagues from the mobile radio section of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Company.
All’arrivo dell’equipaggio del radiomobile, il carabiniere aveva già bloccato il 18enne Indian, colto mentre tentava di uscire dal cancello dell’abitazione con la bici appena rubata.
The young man, homeless and with a criminal record, attempted to provide false personal details to the Carabinieri, but was taken to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Police Station, where his true identity was ascertained.
After being held in the security cells, he will be judged in the morning with a direct trial. The electric bike was returned to its rightful owner.
