He tries to steal a purse from a car and gets caught.

It happened yesterday in Olmedo: a 42-year-old, with a criminal record, noticed the wallet within reach and thought it would be a good idea to take it .

But the rightful owner, who was in a business across the street, saw him immediately and stopped him.

The Carabinieri of the local station arrested the 42-year-old on charges of theft, taking him to court in Sassari this morning for a summary trial. Judge Sara Pelicci ordered the suspect, defended by lawyer Patrizia Marcori, to remain in a town in southern Sardinia.
