Around 6:30 AM, in via Dei Mulini in Como, the State Police intervened following reports from several residents.

A patrol from the 'Squadra Volante' reached the area in front of the Val Mulini parking garage, where they tracked down and stopped a 21-year-old Tunisian man and a 19-year-old Italian woman.

Reconstruction in the parking lot

According to what residents told the officers, the two young people allegedly entered the parking lot and broke into a parked car. After forcing the vehicle open, they reportedly rummaged through its interior. The owner allegedly asked them to leave. The two, again according to the reconstruction reported to the police, allegedly continued and directed threatening remarks at her.

In the same area, another resident went down to the street to check his parked vehicle. He found that part of the door and a window had been damaged. This damage was also reported to the officers during the patrol's intervention, which had been initiated due to the noises and shouting reported shortly before.

The first phase of the event took place between the parking lot and the area in front of Val Mulini. The two young people were detained there before being transferred to the Police Headquarters for further investigation. The reconstruction gathered by the officers concerned both the broken-into car and the second damaged vehicle.

Operational details

The Driver's Tale

The attempt on the road

During the intervention, another driver approached the Flying Team patrol. He told the agents that, shortly before, the two young men had stopped him while he was walking along Dei Mulini street and had threatened him. His story added to the scene of the parked vehicles an episode that took place along the same road, with the direct involvement of those behind the wheel.

According to the man, the 21-year-old allegedly injured him in the arm. The 19-year-old, on the other hand, allegedly tried to take a suitcase with work tools from the trunk. The victim reacted and retrieved the briefcase, then drove away. The sequence described to the agents then ended with the driver again in possession of the tools and away from the point where he would have been stopped.

The testimony came while the patrol was carrying out the intervention in the Val Mulini car park area. The driver spoke directly to the officers and placed the block just before they arrived. The story concerned both the threats addressed to the driver and the attempt to take the tools from the trunk; the wound indicated by the man was on one arm.

The positions of the two stops

During the investigations it emerged that the 21-year-old is a Tunisian citizen, resides in Olgiate Comasco and was found to be irregular on the national territory. The 19-year-old is Italian and resides in Carlazzo.

Both, according to the police, are homeless. The source also reports that they have several precedents for crimes against person and property. These elements were indicated after the stop in the Val Mulini area and the subsequent accompaniment in the Police Headquarters.

Key points

From the police station to the prison

Araştırma sonuçları:

After stopping in the area in front of the Val Mulini car park, the 21-year-old and the 19-year-old were escorted to the police station. The State Police has indicated this step as the phase of the investigations following the intervention in Via Dei Mulini. The sequence shown distinguishes the first stop from the stop made at the end of the checks.

At the end of the investigations, in fact, the two young men were arrested. The complaints indicated are aggravated theft in competition, attempted robbery, threats and damage. These are the qualifications reported by the police for the facts reconstructed in the morning, after the reports of the residents and the story of the driver. The transfer to the Police Headquarters is therefore distinguished, in the chronology reported, from the arrest and the subsequent transfer to the Bassone.

The destination indicated

The next step was the transfer to the Bassone prison. The source states that both were taken to the facility available to the judicial authority. The prison destination is therefore the latest development reported after detention and investigations.

The scan described is linear: the Police Headquarters receives the reports, the Flying Team reaches via Dei Mulini, the two are stopped in the car park area, then accompanied to the Police Headquarters and finally arrested. Only after this sequence are they taken to the Bassone. Each step is referred to the same morning as the intervention of the State Police in Como.

The judicial outcome indicated by the source remains that of availability to the judicial authority. In the text, the documented follow-up after the arrest is the transfer of the two to the Bassone prison, at the disposal of the judicial authority.
