A robber was arrested in Sassari on February 23. The Carabinieri responded after a reported theft from a clothing store in the city center.
The man, who had stolen some trousers, was held at the cash register, and then broke free, attacking the clerks and fleeing. The Carabinieri officers, having obtained his description, tracked him down near the train station and arrested him.
The stolen goods, hidden in the suspect's backpack, were returned to their rightful owner. The man was placed under house arrest at the validation hearing held yesterday.
