34-Year-Old Algerian Man Arrested for Sleight of Hand Theft in Naples

The police officers of the railway police department of Campania have arrested a 34-year-old Algerian man for theft with sleight of hand. In particular, the officers of the compartmental judicial police team noticed the man who was scrutinizing travelers inside the station at Piazza Garibaldi, in Naples. Immediately after, the man positioned himself behind a tourist, followed her outside the station, and, taking advantage of the crowd formed at the traffic light to cross Piazza Garibaldi, slipped his hand into the woman's coat and slid out her cellphone. The police officers, immediately intervening, stopped the 34-year-old man who was sentenced to six months in prison with a fine of 200 euros and then released with the obligation to report to the judicial police.
