(ANSA) - Barletta, November 3 - Video footage and witness accounts have led to the arrest of an Italian pharmacy robber who was given away by his clumsy behaviour during hold-ups.
    Michele Porcelluzzi, 38, was identified after mumbling when asking for money from a cashier and then falling severely following one raid in Barletta, Puglia.
    During the robbery on October 9, he was forced to lift his face covering when sales assistants could not understand what he was saying. By doing so, he revealed some missing teeth. After snatching some money, on the way out he slipped over in the rain, revealing parts of his legs to video cameras as he limped away.
    As a result, Italian police were able to identify and arrest Porcelluzzi, who is also believed to be responsible for another pharmacy raid in Barletta.
