The Carabinieri of the Radiomobile Unit of the Operational and Radiomobile Nucleus of Carbonia arrested in flagrante a 46-year-old man, unemployed, with no fixed abode and already known to the police , believed to be responsible for the crimes of attempted robbery and attempted aggravated theft.

The military swung into action after a report reached the Operations Center, which indicated suspicious movements near some homes in the center.

The patrols thus surprised the man just as, after having already entered an apartment inhabited by a 78-year-old pensioner – who, although frightened, had tried to resist without success – he was now fiddling with the door of the neighboring house, owned by a 51-year-old businessman.

At the sight of the soldiers, the man attempted to flee, but was immediately immobilized and taken to the barracks.

He was then transferred to Uta prison, at the disposal of the Judicial Authority.
