Appropriation of lost property, improper use of non-cash payment instruments and aggravated theft.

These are the charges that a 43-year-old from Villamar, a worker with a police history, must answer. The man was reported yesterday in Samassi by the carabinieri.

From the investigations it emerged that in recent days, in Samassi, he collected on the street a wallet that had been lost shortly before by a university student, a local twenty-year-old. Instead of taking it to the police, however, he stole an ATM, managing to withdraw 500 euros from an ATM of the Banco di Sardegna di Sanluri.

Not happy, he also tried to make other withdrawals: too late, however, because the student had reported the loss by blocking the card.

The carabinieri traced back to the 43-year-old looking at the cameras of the various ATM systems.
