A fake Carabiniere was arrested in Sassari. He was identified by the Carabinieri themselves, who suspect him of committing two scams against two women, aged 86 and 74. It all started with a man who, over the phone, pretended to be a Carabiniere, warning the victims that a family member's car had been used in a robbery.
From this premise, the invitation was given to prepare jewelry and money to inspect the stolen goods. Having entered the homes, he managed to distract the women's attention and steal the valuables. Once the incident was reported, the police searched the historic center and, thanks to the descriptions provided by the victims, tracked down the alleged perpetrator.
The man was carrying money, and in the room of the B&B where he was staying, a set of jewelry was found hidden in a suitcase. The jewelry was later identified by the women and has now been seized. The man has been arrested and will be tried at the validation hearing.
