Tension erupted last night at the Extraordinary Reception Center (CAS) in Monastir , where Carabinieri officers from Dolianova, along with officers from the Suelli and Donori stations, arrested two men, aged 29 and 31 , both of North African origin and resident at the facility. The two men are facing charges of robbery and illegal possession of weapons or objects capable of causing harm.

The alarm was raised around 9:00 PM, following a report from the center's staff and a guard. According to the military's reconstruction, shortly beforehand , the two suspects, both Algerian nationals, allegedly attacked a twenty-seven-year-old fellow Algerian, also a guest at the CAS, spraying him with pepper spray and threatening him with a knife . At gunpoint, the victim was forced to hand over cash, a cell phone, and personal belongings, while the two attackers fled inside the complex.

The patrols' swift intervention allowed them to quickly track down the two alleged perpetrators. During the subsequent search, the Carabinieri found the pepper spray and some of the property stolen from the twenty-seven-year-old shortly before .

Following the routine checks, the 29-year-old and 31-year-old were arrested and taken to the Uta prison, where they will be held by the judicial authorities.
