35-year-old man arrested for stealing from Roots, a small nature museum in Palermo

He forced the back door, then broke into the premises and ransacked it, committing a theft. The cameras recorded a man stealing money and some tablets inside the commercial activity Radici, a small nature museum located in Via Gagini, in the historic center of Palermo.

One of the owners noticed everything and immediately called the police. On the spot, where the famous stationery De Magistris used to be, the agents arrived and stopped the man. He is a thirty-five-year-old who was found in possession of the stolen goods and various tools for breaking and entering, including a drill and two bolt cutters. The man had also taken some food products.

This is yet another blow to an activity in the historic center of the city, where the wave of thefts continues to grow. In action, in recent weeks, especially the smash-and-grab thieves: among the most recent cases, the smash-and-grab theft carried out in the clothing and sports footwear store Notorious Lab in Via Roma, at the corner with Via Divisi. The criminals, in this case, shattered the window and broke into the premises, escaping with the cash, clothes, and shoes worth hundreds of euros.
