if this bunch of criminals is to be believed,
photograph La Repubblica, in Rome 6 OAPs, (Old Aged Pensioners), have been arrested, after
carrying out several armed burglaries at post offices in Rome, 70-year-old
Italo De Witt, nicknamed “the German”, Sandro Baruzzo, 68, and 77-year-old
Raniero Pula all apparently led the gang, the three other experts, a key maker
(66) to breach the various locks, and two bricklayers (51 and 56 years old) who
handled “the hole” through which the gang entered the post offices, Italian
authorities began investigating the gang’s activities after a post office
robbery in May of last year when three individuals wearing masks, hats, and
sunglasses so as not to be recognized, held the staff at gunpoint and managed
to make off with 195,000 euros ($211,000), the experienced gang was finally
caught on November 6, when they attempted to rob a post office on Via Calpurnio
Pisone, oblivious to the fact that they were under police surveillance, as
usual, the bricklayers made a hole in the wall and concealed it with plywood.
That’s how three of the gang members entered the post office, but as they were
getting ready to escape with 152,000 euros ($165,000), they were apprehended by
the police, during the investigation, prosecutors learned that the three
elderly leaders – De Witt, Pula and Baruzzo – rarely talked on the phone,
rightly suspecting that police could be listening. Instead, they often met at
an obscure bar to lay down their plans for the next operation, the full story is here, I should mention that all members had criminal records, but the leaders had
particularly impressive records that went back all the way back to the 1970s, as I mentioned some people never change.
