Four minors were arrested between Seregno and Monza, they are accused of at least five violent assaults and robberies on trains or in stations. Some even at gunpoint.
They often targeted peers, sowed panic by attacking commuters and young people on their way to school, threatening them with a knife . The gang acted on the convoys in transit between the two municipalities of Brianza, and is made up of two Italian minors, one Moroccan and one Egyptian.
Each robbery yielded a booty worth a few hundred euros. The images of the video surveillance cameras framed the four, who on one occasion also attacked the conductor who intervened to block them.
Now they are all in the juvenile prison in Milan .
