Last night, the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Colleferro, in the province of Rome, arrested two foreign citizens, a Romanian and a Kosovar, respectively 28 and 35 years old, both homeless and with precedents, for similar crimes, with the accusation of aggravated theft in competition of fuel, within a local trucking company.
The Carabinieri, engaged in the usual nightly reconnaissance services, noticed the two criminals moving inside the depot. When the alarm went off, the military immediately tried to block the way out of the criminals who in the meantime were trying to escape on board their car but were blocked after a few meters.
The two thieves, taking advantage of the night and the lack of illumination, had managed to enter the warehouse after having ripped the fence net. After breaking the tanks of four truck mixers, parked inside the depot, they removed from their interior about 50 liters of fuel that was poured into some tanks. Following the vehicular search, the military found and seized screwdrivers, gloves, burglary tools of all kinds and jerry cans, some still empty, but which they would have filled if they had not been disturbed by the timely intervention of the Carabinieri.
After the arrest the two were taken to the barracks and held at the disposal of the Judicial Authority, awaiting the direct rite. The military investigations continue to ascertain whether the two can be the perpetrators of further episodes of theft in the industrial area of the Roman town.
