Yesterday evening, the agents of the Flying Squad intervened, following a report reached 113, in an apartment in Via Monte Santo, in the Is Mirrionis district, where a heated quarrel was underway between grandparents and grandson.
When the policemen arrived at the home of the elderly couple, two pensioners aged 89 and 73, they found only the elderly man, visibly frightened and with evident signs of a struggle, who reported that he had been attacked shortly before by his own nephew following yet another request for money. Not receiving the requested sum, the young man first attacked his grandfather and then urged his grandmother to accompany him to an ATM and withdraw the sum of approximately 450 euros in cash.
The policemen immediately set out on the trail of the young man, who was intercepted and blocked a little later while he was walking alone in a street in Quartucciu. From the check carried out on the spot, the sum of 450 euros and the relative receipt of the ATM withdrawal made shortly before were found on him, two magnetic ATM cards in the name of the grandparents, narcotic substance for personal use such as hashish, marijuana and cocaine, a stolen wristwatch from the grandparents' home and finally a pair of scissors.
The grandmother confirmed that she had accompanied her grandson in her car to an ATM to collect and deliver some cash, before returning home alone.
The elderly couple finally told how for some time he had been a victim of his nephew's aggressive and oppressive behavior, almost always linked to requests for money and valuables and aggravated by the neuropsychiatric disorders from which he suffers.
The young man, already known to the police for various precedents, was taken to the police station under arrest for mistreatment in the family and reported for carrying weapons and objects capable of offending.
Today morning the validation hearing with direct rite.
