They stole a bag from a car in Monastir and used the ATM inside to make purchases: for this reason the Carabinieri of the local station reported at large two Tunisians aged 22 and 32 on charges of theft, receiving stolen goods and improper use of payment cards.
The rapid investigations began with a report from a driver from Villa Verde, who had left his bag with personal effects unattended inside his car parked in the centre of Monastir.
The two, guests of the reception center, took it. The owner shortly after began receiving purchase notifications on his cell phone. The timely call to 112 allowed the carabinieri to intervene quickly, tracking down the two suspects just as they were trying to use the stolen card.
During the inspection of the area, the military managed to recover the remaining stolen goods, including the personal effects present in the bag, which was returned to the victim. The investigation allowed them to collect further evidence that links the two detainees not only to the attempted fraudulent use of the card, but also to the theft of the bag itself.
