Victim, a 40-year-old from Rimini, a pharmaceutical representative. When the shot failed, the bandit escaped on a scooter.
Viserba (Rimini), 23 June 2015 – Try a robbery in broad daylight in Viserba and when his victim reacts, he fires a pistol at the ground. Only later do the carabinieri discover that it was a blank weapon. The attack took place on Sunday, in the late afternoon, on the seafront of Viserba, in via Dati. The victim was a 40-year-old from Rimini, a pharmaceutical representative. According to the reconstruction made by the carabinieri, the man had just left the 'La Romana' ice cream parlor, and was about to get into the car, when the stranger found himself in front of him. This one had her face hidden by the helmet and with a lightning gesture she grabbed his arm, trying to snatch the watch from his wrist. Not a particularly expensive item, but which the robber may have mistaken for a Rolex. The victim hadn't realized that the bandit was holding a gun, and not at all intending to give him the watch, she put up a determined resistance. At that point a violent scuffle ensued, and it was at that moment that the robber exploded a gunshot on the ground. To 'get rid' of the Riminese who decided to hold him back, he then hit him on the head with the butt of his pistol.
But at that point the criminal could do nothing but escape, since passers-by began to approach. So he got on the scooter and fled to the seafront, as people tried to figure out what was going on. “We heard a shot – they say at the ice cream parlor – but we certainly didn't think it was a shot. At the time, the place was full of people." The victim immediately alerted 112, e the carabinieri arrived at the scene at lightning speed. The Rimini native was not seriously injured, but he was unable to give a very accurate description of the attacker. In fact, he hadn't been able to see his face, and everything had happened in the fraction of a few seconds.
The military immediately issued the search, but checks and checkpoints have not had any results. The only thing known about the robber is that he should be a rather young person and certainly Italian. A 'description' that could fit thousands of people, e there is not much hope of being able to identify it.
