He had the keys to the vehicles, he entered the car rental and took them away. Until a regular customer of the business saw him in the square, driving a van that he was about to steal: with a quick move he stole the key and forced him to flee, then called the police.

Thanks to the promptness of the citizen, the police agents of the Cagliari Police Headquarters arrested a forty-year-old yesterday afternoon, on charges of aggravated theft.

After the foiled coup, they viewed the images of the video surveillance circuit and recognized the person responsible. The manhunt ended shortly after in via Emilia, where he was tracked down: he had tried to leave on foot.

A search revealed other car keys of different brands, all equipped with key rings with the license plate number: they had all been stolen from the same car rental. One was found nearby, with the engine still warm.

The forty-year-old was arrested and at the end of this morning's validation hearing the provision was validated.
