A 33-year-old Romanian man was arrested in Italy after stealing 292 chocolate bars and 44 packs of batteries from a store, with a total value of approximately €1,300. The incident took place on Thursday, November 5, at around 1:15 p.m., in the town of Romano di Lombardia, Bergamo province.
Store employees noticed the theft and tried to stop the car in which the man had fled. A patrol from the Local Police of the Lower Bergamo district saw the pursuit and intervened. The Romanian man tried to escape, making several illegal overtaking maneuvers and endangering other road users.
Police caught him after approximately two kilometers and searched the car. Some of the products were hidden under the suspect’s clothes and secured with an elastic band. Officers recovered all the goods, which were returned to the store.
The man was arrested in the act on suspicion of aggravated theft. The following day, he was brought before the Bergamo Tribunal, which validated the arrest and ordered him to remain in Bergamo and the surrounding province. The judge granted him time to prepare his defense, and the next hearing was scheduled for Friday, November 27. Residents and local authorities praised the police officers’ intervention.
