Palermo, la polizia blocca un furto con vetrina spaccata: due arrestati

The State police officers arrested two 25 and 26-year-old individuals accused of stealing from a B&B in via Oreto area in Palermo. The two were apprehended on via Errante after a resident alerted the emergency line. When the police arrived, they quickly arrested one of the young men. However, it took a rooftop pursuit to catch the second suspect. The young man reached the top floor and then jumped from a roof to a terrace in an attempt to escape and avoid detection. Waiting for him on the other side were other police officers who ultimately apprehended him and recovered a pair of AirPods and other stolen devices from a tourist. Both the 25 and 26-year-old, who had previous records for theft and other property crimes, were arrested. The judge confirmed the arrests and ordered both of them to sign in at the police station.
