He was leaving the Molentargius park pushing a small tractor/lawnmower. Some residents in the area noticed him and asked him for explanations: "A friend gave it to me" replied the man, a 50-year-old resident of Quartu Sant'Elena already known to the police.

The neighbors, suspicious, warned the owner of the agricultural vehicle who, having arrived on the spot, tried to stop the thief but without success. The man managed to escape into the park, abandoning the tractor.

In the meantime, the carabinieri of the Radiomobile of Cagliari intervened and identified and identified him, also ascertaining that, to carry out the theft, he had bent a metal fence and damaged the lock of the shed.

The 50-year-old was arrested and placed under house arrest pending the hearing for an express hearing.
