They robbed passers-by on the street and then fled aboard scooters.
It happened in Palermo, where the carabinieri of the radio-mobile unit arrested three young people, including a minor, accused of aggravated robbery and carrying objects capable of offending.
The soldiers intervened in Piazza Don Bosco, where a 30-year-old said he was the victim of a robbery by three bandits, one of them armed with a gun, aboard two scooters, who had threatened him by being handed over, under threat weapon, cash, and a cell phone before making a run for it. The carabinieri tracked down the alleged perpetrators near via Libertà, after they had been noticed and recognized by the same victim as he was returning home.
During the search, investigators found the 30-year-old's cell phone, a switchblade, three balaclavas, a pair of black gloves and a blank pistol with a magazine containing 4 cartridges.
Further investigations are underway to ascertain whether the three are also the perpetrators of another robbery that took place in the nearby Via Marchese di Roccaforte, against another young man, who was stolen money and a mobile phone.
