11 October 2019Paura yesterday afternoon in Rome for a 61-year-old and her 24-year-old son, robbed at home in broad daylight by three thugs with their faces uncovered. It happened at around 17 in a house in Via Maria Theodoli, in Ostia.

The robbers broke into the house pretending to be fake policemen, and once inside they immediately immobilized the boy with plastic ties, then turned their attention to the apartment safe. But after useless attempts to open it, the three, with a Roman accent, left empty-handed.

The 61-year-old and her son were not injured, only very frightened for them. On the spot came the Police of the police station, which proceeds with the investigation, called by a neighbor who in the meantime had become suspicious after hearing noises. When the Flying Squad was notified, the men of the Scientific Police also intervened in the apartment.
