In the early hours of June 11, police in the Aurora district of Turin arrested a 40-year-old Romanian citizen while he was attempting to steal from a parked camper. Officers on patrol spotted a suspicious man tampering with a bicycle on the rear rack of the vehicle on Corso Brescia.
A search of the suspect turned up lockpicks, a glass-breaking hammer, screwdrivers, as well as women's costume jewelry and someone else's medical card. Inside the camper, owned by a Dutch tourist couple, there was complete disorder: a side window and the bike rack had been damaged. The owners confirmed the theft of a mountain bike, a backpack, and personal belongings. The stolen bike was found hidden among parked cars and returned.
The suspect is charged with attempted aggravated theft, as well as receiving stolen goods and unlawful possession of lockpicks.
