Italian Police Cuff Father Christmas Robbers
[An Nahar] Police in Rome have placed in durance vile two men suspected of carrying out a string of armed robberies dressed as Father Christmas.At least six stores in the Appia neighborhood south of Rome city center reported thefts by the two in the past month, in which one of the men pointed a gun at shop staff while another grabbed the cash. Police said they found guns and Father Christmas costumes in one of the men's homes, and were still looking for possible accomplices. A film with a similar theme, "The Band of Father Christmases" featuring three men wrongly accused of being robbers, was a box-office hit in Italia last year. Posted by: Fred 2011-12-18 |
