Pescara, night robberies in the shops of the center. The serial thief arrested

The controls ordered by the Police Chief of the province of Pescara to combat predatory crimes continue to be tight. In this context, Pescara State Police officers have completed an important operation that led to the arrest of a 36-year-old, believed to be responsible for multiple attempted and committed thefts against commercial businesses in the capital.

The man, already known to the police, was arrested in recent days in execution of a precautionary custody order in prison issued by the GIP at the request of the Pescara Prosecutor's Office.

The criminal episodes date back to the period between September 2023 and July 2024, when the 36-year-old targeted over 30 targets including commercial businesses, schools, public bodies and even churches, mainly in the city centre, causing panic among traders.

The first incident occurred in September 2023, when the man committed a burglary at a school in the city center.

In the following months, other thefts occurred at various commercial establishments, particularly bars, restaurants and clothing stores.

The investigations conducted by the patrol officers allowed them to collect a series of elements useful for hypothesizing that behind all these episodes there could be the same person, given the similar ways in which the crimes were carried out.

The officers then meticulously analyzed the images from the surveillance cameras and collected elements that allowed them to close the circle around the 36-year-old who, in that period, was arrested by the patrol officers for predatory crimes.

The serious evidence of guilt, combined with the concrete possibility of repetition of the crime, led the Public Prosecutor in charge of the investigation to request precautionary custody in prison.

The GIP fully accepted the request, issuing the precautionary custody order which was immediately notified to the man, currently held in prison following his arrest for the commission of crimes of the same nature.
