In Cagliari , two people were arrested by agents of the Flying Squad for having snatched an elderly man yesterday morning.
The policemen were in Largo Carlo Felice when some citizens asked for their intervention following a robbery. The elder was still on the ground after receiving a violent push from thugs. Once the first information on the robbers was retrieved, they were sent to the other patrols in the area and the hunt for two men started who, a few minutes later, were intercepted in Viale La Playa by a Volante. One of the two, at the sight of the uniforms, tried to get rid of the stolen goods by throwing it under a car, but the policemen recovered it: it was the gold chain just stolen and not far away there were also a cross and a wedding ring , all stolen from the elderly.
The two men, a 29-year-old native of Gambia and a 26-year-old Senegalese, were arrested red-handed for robbery and taken to the Uta Prison, at the disposal of the judicial authorities.
