On the case of investigations by the carabinieri. A witness: “They emptied our pockets of money and then threatened not to chase them”

TREVISO. Assaulted and robbed in the city center by a gang of four young people, three North Africans and an Italian. This is the disturbing episode reported a few days ago to the carabinieri of the via Cornarotta command by two students from Treviso. The boys, a sixteen-year-old and an adult for a few months, were taken by surprise, behind them, while they were coming out of via Manin on their bicycles to enter Piazza Duomo. After being grabbed by the neck, they were forced to hand over all the money they had in their pockets. One of the two had several hundred euros, which his parents had given him to go and buy clothes, in view of the start of the school year. Investigators have already heard the two young men and could tighten the circle around at least a couple of the four attackers who would have been identified through photos posted on social media.

The attack took place on Wednesday afternoon, around 5 pm, at the end of Via Manin, almost at the intersection with Piazza Duomo, where there is a road construction site. According to the complaint of the two young people, a gang composed of four boys would have surprised them from behind, while on a bicycle but at walking pace due to the presence of the road construction site, they were about to enter Piazza Duomo. “They took us by the neck” – says one of the two robbed boys, a student in a city professional institute. “There were four of them, three North Africans and an Italian. They rummaged in our pockets and forced us to give money. Then, they ran away in the direction of Piazza Borsa, threatening us not to follow them ».

One of the two boys had a substantial sum in his pocket, a few hundred euros with which he would have had to buy some clothing in view of the start of school. «He had to go and buy clothes with his mother – explains the boy’s father – and instead he wanted to do his own thing and go with a friend. The point is that if he had gone with his mother there would have been none of that. “

The carabinieri of the via Cornarotta command were immediately alerted by the two boys. «We called 112 – says the fourth year student of a city professional institute – and a patrol that was in the station area came to meet us. Then we went to the command to report the incident ».

The two students did not know their attackers. “Three of them were North African in appearance – he says – while one was Italian. If we were afraid? A little ‘sure, even if they weren’t armed and couldn’t hurt us so much.’

Thanks to the sunny day, the heat and the full working period, there were no witnesses in the area and the investigations of the carabinieri rely not only on the testimony of the two boys, but also on the cameras in the area. It seems that at least two of the four alleged attackers were recognized by photos posted on social media and recognized by the two boys.

The complaint of the two boys came just in the days when another news story in Treviso concerned a merchant, forced to close the shop in Treviso.in Rome, after the threats and attacks suffered by drug dealers. The quadrant of Via Roma always remains a hot area and several inhabitants of the area are on a war footing due to a situation, they say, intolerable.
