Carabinieri arrested a 34-year-old man in Sestri Levante, accused of aggravated theft after a shopkeeper reported a break-in at midday. The store owner, alerted by passers-by, said the suspect had forced the front door while the business was closed for lunch. When officers arrived, the shopkeeper spotted the man trying to get away on a bicycle and moved to stop him. Police recovered a cash register containing 400 euros, allegedly stolen shortly before from the shop. The stolen money was returned to the owner. After the arrest, the suspect was taken to the Carabinieri headquarters for processing and held in the security rooms while waiting for a fast-track hearing. The case is still in the preliminary investigation stage, and the 34-year-old is considered innocent until a final court decision.
