He left the community of San Patrignano, in the Rimini area, early yesterday morning, where he was under house arrest. He then reached Caserta, where in the afternoon he tried to rob a shop on Via Sud Piazza d’Armi with a box cutter, but was arrested by the police. A 54-year-old man from Naples, who had ended up in the well-known rehabilitation center for drug addicts for theft and possession for drug trafficking, was arrested. Yesterday morning, the Carabinieri of the Operational and Mobile Radio Unit of the Caserta Company confirmed that the 54-year-old first stole a car from a center employee and then drove at full speed onto the highway towards Naples. When he arrived in Caserta and ran out of cash, he decided to rob one of the downtown stores with a box cutter he had hidden in his pocket, but failed because the clerk refused to hand over the money in the cash register. Instead, taking advantage of the man’s moment of distraction, the employee contacted 112 and alerted the Carabinieri, who arrived within minutes. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old tried to escape in the vehicle stolen a few hours earlier but was intercepted on Via Giovanni Bosco and stopped. During a search of his home, he was found in possession of the tube used in the attempted robbery and several doses of cocaine in the car, which was placed in the glove compartment next to the gear lever. The 54-year-old was then taken to Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison and will face charges of theft, attempted theft and escape.
