The Carabinieri of the Boscoreale station arrested a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old for aggravated robbery, both with no previous criminal records from the area.
A few minutes earlier, an employee of a gas station on National Passers-by Street had been robbed. Two young men on a motorcycle had pointed a gun at him, taking part of the day's earnings, about 300 euros.
The Carabinieri immediately initiated a search and located the vehicle in an isolated agricultural area. The vehicle was a high-powered motorcycle, also the product of a robbery committed on January 23 in Torre del Greco.
The two robbers were also stopped and arrested, still wearing the clothes used for the robbery. A modified blank gun without a red cap and the stolen 300 euros divided into shares: 150 euros each. Two neck warmers and two helmets were also found, also captured by the gas station's surveillance cameras.
The 18-year-old was taken to the Poggioreale prison while the minor was entrusted to the first reception center of the Colli Aminei. Both are waiting to tell a judge their version of the facts.
