22-year-old Moroccan arrested for theft and assault in Piazza Bovio

Last night, state police arrested a 22-year-old Moroccan, who was illegally staying in the National Territory, for complicity in theft, assault and resisting a government official. In addition, he was reported for illegal entry and residence in the territory of the state. In particular, the officers of the General Prevention Office, while patrolling the area, noticed two girls in Piazza Bovio who asked for help and identified two persons nearby as the perpetrators of a theft against one of them. Therefore, the officers immediately intervened and, with some difficulty and after a scuffle, managed to arrest one of the two men and found him in possession of the stolen goods; while the other, after attacking the victim’s friend to ensure his escape, managed to escape. Police confirmed that the suspect, together with his accomplice, had recently approached one of the two women from behind at the corner of Piazza Bovio and Corso Umberto I and quickly took her wallet from her backpack.
