Rome: In action with the fake policeman technique, but falls into the net of the "real" Police officers

Arrested a fraudster who had been targeted by the Investigators of the Porta Pia Police Station for some time: the man pretended to be a policeman in difficulty and then robbed the poor unfortunates. Following several reports of theft, fraud against the elderly and improper use of credit cards, he was arrested for aggravated theft.

Rome: In action with the fake policeman technique, but falls into the net of the "real" Police officers

The tried and tested technique was always the same: pretend to be a policeman in difficulty, gain the trust of the unfortunate victims, and then at the right moment rob them of their belongings. He did not know, however, that he was in the sights of the investigators of the Porta Pia Police Station who, following several reports of theft, fraud against the elderly and improper use of credit cards, had managed, after a scrupulous investigation, to identify him.

So, when a few days ago, the police intercepted him while he was wandering around inside the “La Sapienza” University, they followed all his moves and then caught him in the act.

With the usual “script”, the man approached the driver of a truck assigned to the delivery of nitrogen and oxygen cylinders that was about to leave the University City and, pretending to be a police inspector, after simulating the theft of the company car with his service badge and gun, he managed to convince the victim to give him a lift to reach the nearest police station. Once in the car, taking advantage of the good faith of the victim, he first urged her to stop with an excuse and, then, taking advantage of a moment of distraction, grabbed her fanny pack containing 170 euros as well as various personal items, before fleeing.

However, waiting for him were the investigators of the Porta Pia Police Station who promptly stopped him and arrested him for aggravated theft. The Prosecutor's Office then requested and obtained from the Judge for Preliminary Investigations validation of the measure adopted by the State Police.
