The policemen of the Fermo Flying Squad arrested 4 people, barely adults, for the crime of complicity in robbery aggravated by the use of weapons.
Through the investigations, which began last December thanks to some residents of the “Lido Tre Archi” neighborhood who reported armed robberies, investigators discovered that the suspects attacked the victims with machetes, iron pipes, knives, baseball bats or by setting a large dog trained for the purpose against them.
The officers reconstructed the two robberies committed by the group of young people and also an attempted robbery which took place in the first days of December.
In the first robbery, the victim was blocked from behind at the exit of a shop, threatened with a knife and robbed of credit cards and 500 euros in cash.
Furthermore, under threat, she was warned not to report the incident to the police to avoid further retaliation.
The kidnapped boy, despite his agitation, asked a friend of his for help to get back home.
However, it is in this circumstance that the second episode occurs.
The same robbers, this time with their faces distorted so as not to be recognised, reach them, threaten and steal an electric bicycle.
Finally, during the course of the incident, one of the two victims was injured in the abdomen by the throwing of some stones.
