He entered a pharmacy in Piazza Vittorio, wearing a baseball hat and a mask, and asked the owner for a series of syringes and then threatened the owner by saying that they would return to “smash his head” and steal all the proceeds. All while a friend of his, acting as a pole outside, had a dog on a leash.
After leaving the pharmacy, the two fled to Metro A while the owner of the business called the Unique Emergency Number, telling of the threat of the attempted robbery. On their trail, the policemen of the San Lorenzo and Porta Pia police stations, who managed to block them on the platform of the Vittorio Emanuele stop. Identified as a 53-year-old man and a 38-year-old man, both Neapolitans, were arrested for attempted robbery in competition. A failed shot in the bud.
