TRENTO. And 21enne of Moroccan origins was arrested by the Trento police flying squad after being responsible for a robbery of two women on their way to the “Poplar festival”. According to the police reconstruction, during the crowding phase at the concert on Doss Trento the 21-year-old, already known to the police for property crimes, lunged at a woman, stealing her cell phone from her pocket.
The victim managed to free himself, but the 21-year-old, who he was wearing a balaclava and who was visibly altered, he attacked another girl trying to steal her bag. The other woman immediately ran to the aid of the second victim, attracting the attention of the security personnel, who in turn alerted the police. The flying squad searched the 21-year-old to recover the stolen goods.
At the end of the operation – the Trento police headquarters reported – the young man was arrested for aggravated robbery and taken to the Trento prison, awaiting the validation hearing before the investigating judge.
“No robberies at the Poplar in Trento“. The organizers of the demonstration made this clear after the note released by the Trento police headquarters. “Yesterday evening in via Brescia (after Piedicastello square, ed.) there was an attack on two women by a person already known to the Municipality of Trento”, explain the organizers. “At that moment the festival security staff was there for checks and alerted us. We were the ones who called the police, who were on Doss Trento at the time, telling them to intervene”. “For weeks – the festival organizers complain – we have been at the center of a political controversy in which we have nothing to do. Ours is an independent event, which is 80% self-financed, and which is not tied to any type of movement or political party”. On the issue of security, the organizers conclude, “they hammered away by also calling an extraordinary supervisory commission, after which they arrived here and found nothing out of place”.
