Rome, 11 October 2021 – Sweatshirts, balaclavas, latex gloves. And between the two hands rifles pump, also aimed at the children. Terrified mothers and fathers who try to calm the tears of their little ones and take them in their arms to protect them. These are the images taken by the surveillance cameras during a robbery in pizzeria ‘A place in the sun’, a Casavatore. Dramatic minutes experienced by customers and workers of the restaurant, in the province of Naples.
What could have been a simple Saturday night in a pizzeria with family or friends has turned into a bad memory. Luckily concluded with no injuries, but only with a loot of four clocks (including a Rolex and a Tudor) and one gold necklace stolen, according to what is learned from the carabinieri, who are now carrying out the investigations.
In the video, taken by the surveillance cameras and then posted on social networks, we see the action of two robbers. Only one of the two enters the room first, who, with the well aimed shotgun, makes his way between the tables and goes to the cashier. The owner does not hesitate, opens it and gives him the proceeds. But the two are not satisfied: the loot is too little.
In fact, it was just after 10pm, still too early and the customers were all sitting down to eat pizza. So the other accomplice, always armed, begins to raid what he could. Gold chains, cell phones, money. It almost seems like you have nothing to lose. So much so that it points to the weapons even against a parent, who was holding two children in his arms, and against another sitting at a table with his son at his side, who seeks refuge in the arms of his mother.
a serious episode, as commented by the Campania regional councilor, Francesco Emilio Borrelli. “I spoke to the owner of the restaurant – said Borrelli – and he told me that he had suffered a significant reduction in the number of customers, it was a serious episode: criminals armed to the teeth, robbery it could turn into a massacre. We express total solidarity with the restaurateur and the victims of this ignoble criminal attack that took place in front of children and families carried out by unscrupulous monsters. Our territories – he concluded – are increasingly in the hands of these unscrupulous and heavily armed criminals “.
