Perhaps a moment of distraction, with the car open and the wallet in sight . So a 32-year-old , taking advantage of the situation, stole the bag from the car and drove away. It happened on Thursday 3 April in via Campania in Cagliari. The man, already known to the police, was tracked down thanks to purchases made with the credit cards of the victim , a woman, and was reported for theft and improper use of payment instruments.

According to the reconstruction by the Local Police, the man would have entered the vehicle and then taken away documents, keys and ATM card . The discovery of the bag, reported by a citizen to the Local Police radio operations center, allowed the agents to quickly trace the victim.

A quick check of the account revealed some anomalous transactions at local shops, as well as two ATM withdrawals.
The investigations quickly led to the identification of the person responsible, already involved in similar episodes about two and a half months ago, with the same operational method. The man will now be reported to the judicial authorities for various crimes.
