They tried to tamper with the drink dispensers located in a 24-hour business in Cagliari, in Santa Gilla, to get hold of the coins contained inside. But they were immortalized by video surveillance cameras and identified and stopped by the carabinieri.

The perpetrators of the act were a 29-year-old Gambian and a 22-year-old Bulgarian citizen, both with police records, reported for attempted aggravated theft in competition.

During the search, the Gambian was found in possession of a nail clipper with a total length of 11 cm, probably used to commit the damage, subjected to seizure.

The owner of the business reported to the military the damage to the drinks machine and a wall of the structure.
