The arrest, which turned out to be a struggle, ended with the intervention of the police.
An experienced shoplifter had to be stopped by a store customer in the center of Nastola on May Day.
On Monday around noon, the emergency center received a report of a shoplifter who had been stopped by a store employee and a bystander from Paon Market.
The thief had left the store’s entrance gates without paying, but his escape was interrupted when another customer intervened. The thief in his twenties tried everything he could to escape, but the situation that turned into a struggle with a bystander ended in the fugitive’s defeat.
The shoplifter was kept in custody until the police arrived. The police are investigating the incident as assault and pinching.
The pickpocket, already known to the police, had put various products in his bag, from alcoholic beverages to food, worth about 50 euros.
