The Carabinieri of Sant'Antioco reported a 27-year-old to the Prosecutor's Office of Cagliari for home burglary and improper use of payment instruments.

The young woman, already known to the police, had gone to a 73-year-old housewife residing in Sant'Antioco to ask her for financial help.

Then, once inside the house, taking advantage of a moment of distraction on the part of the woman, the young woman stole a purse containing cash and an ATM card.

The victim discovered the missing item only later, linking the incident to the presence of the young woman.

Then she turned to the police and the military, having started investigations, thanks to the images of the surveillance cameras they managed to identify the young woman, who in the meantime had withdrawn 160 euros with the stolen card.

The overall damage, also considering the stolen cash, amounts to approximately 200 euros.
