He broke into the Pomata restaurant on Viale Regina Margherita in Cagliari , using a road sign as a battering ram. The Carabinieri of the Radiomobile Section arrested the criminal, a 41-year-old resident of Assemini, at dawn this morning.

The loot? 400 euros contained in the cash register. The estimated damage to the entrance door of the public establishment is as much as 5 thousand euros.

The arrested, surprised and blocked by the soldiers of the Arma at the exit from the restaurant , at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor's Office, was subjected to house arrest pending the judgment with a very direct rite scheduled for tomorrow at the Cagliari courthouse.

The carabinieri are checking from the cameras whether he is also responsible for a theft that took place a few hours earlier in a nearby restaurant, Su Cumbidu .

The man had already been reported by soldiers of the same department two days ago for an attempted theft that took place in an Arca Tre Srl furnishing accessories store in viale Monastir.
