A theft of melons turns into robbery. And the police arrest the two responsible.

The facts date back to last August 30, in the countryside of Narbolia , when two men, later found to be well known to the police, entered the land of a fellow villager to steal fruit. But in the next plot there was the field owner's partner, who with a friend was harvesting some vegetables.

Taken by surprise, the two tried to escape in the car loaded with the "loot". She managed to stop the vehicle and get one of the thieves out. The criminal lunged at her, grabbed her by the neck and kicked and punched her.

The screams attracted the attention of some neighbors, who rushed to stop the violence. The man, cornered, got back into the car and fled with his accomplice.

The victim of the attack first showed up at the emergency room of San Martino in Oristano, where she was given ten days of treatment for her injuries, then to the police station to report the incident.

Thanks to the testimonies, the soldiers of Narbolia and Milis have traced the identity of those responsible, who two days ago were arrested on charges of improper robbery: one is under house arrest, the other was already in cell for other crimes.
