A 30-year-old was arrested for having forced open the hood of a car and stolen the battery. Shortly before, his car had broken down
What happened in Voghera (Pv) at night is unbelievable. The carabinieri of Voghera, during their usual patrol service during the night hours, came across a singular scene to say the least. A 30-year-old Romanian, who had broken down with his car shortly before, was intent on replacing the battery in his car with that of a parked vehicle.
The battery thief
—
Stopped on the side of the road, the man was caught in the act with his hands inside the engine compartment of his car. The police, suspicious of the man’s way of acting, found that the man was installing a second battery on his car. Not far from where he stopped, a car was found parked with the bonnet forced open. After the due investigations, it was possible to reconstruct the scene: the man, residing in Turin, was found in possession of various objects suitable for burglary and theft. The arrest was validated by the judicial authority and, pending trial, a ban on staying in the municipality of Voghera was ordered against the 30-year-old.
