He bothered a couple and then, taking advantage of a moment of distraction, stole her purse and ran away. The episode occurred on Saturday night in a bar on Via Sonnino: the protagonist, a twenty-nine-year-old of Moroccan origin. The man, according to the reconstruction by the agents of the Flying Squad who arrested him shortly after, approached a twenty-two-year-old woman and her boyfriend, who were sitting at a table, and began to bother them insistently.

Immediately after, he took possession of the girl's handbag, containing her cell phone, credit cards and personal documents, before moving away to another nearby bar, which is located inside the nearby supermarket.

The twenty-nine-year-old, reached shortly after by the two boys, reacted by threatening them and by grabbing the young man. In the meantime, thanks to a call to 112, the Flying Squad officers arrived on the scene.

He tried to escape, but was stopped in Piazza De Gasperi: during the search he was found in possession of a switchblade and various credit cards, registered to other people and found to be stolen and lost.

In the end, he was arrested for improper robbery, resisting arrest and threatening a public official: the twenty-nine-year-old is now in prison in Uta.
