(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 23 - Two young Moroccan men were arrested
earlier this week on suspicion of stealing luxury watches in
Milan, police said Friday.
The men were caught after looking up on the Internet models
similar to the one they had snatched from a female Mexican
tourist in the northern Italian city, in order to find out what
it was worth, police said.
The pair, a 22-year-old and an irregular minor, have been
charged with another watch theft too.
One of them has been charged with assaulting, pushing and
pulling, and robbing the tourist of her Royal Oak model 20,000
euro Audemars Piguet in the fashion mecca of Via Montenapoleone
less than a month ago.
Another has been charged with stealing an Acquanaut Model Patek
Philippe in another central Milanese street on September 14.
