Fake police robbed tourists

(ANSA) - Rome, April 29 - Rome police on Friday arrested a gang of 13 men, almost all Iranians, who allegedly robbed tourists around Italy by posing as police officers.
    Another two suspects are at large.
    The bogus police pretended to be conducting drugs searches and instead stole valuables.
    Police placed 29 people under investigation, saying the gang was based at Castel Volturno near Caserta.
    The gang was said to have made most of its robberies in Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence.
    Many of the gang entered Italy as illegal migrants via Turkey and Greece, police said.
