According to police sources, the procedure was activated after a 911 report alerted to the suspicious presence of several individuals loitering in vehicles. Once the local police arrived at the scene, they identified the suspects and arrested them.
In turn, a woman informed officers that she had previously been the victim of an attempted robbery when she got into her car around 56 between 13 and 14 p.m.
From this standpoint, a 110-cylinder “Siam” motorcycle, with a damaged ignition drum, was seized while they were searching the defendants’ belongings.
In addition, they were in possession of a backpack containing compatible tools for stealing vehicles on public roads. Among the items were found pliers, a tramontane knife, a pocket knife, a “yoga” and other items.
