Police officers from Kowary detained a 42-year-old man with no permanent place of residence. The 42-year-old is suspected of robbery. The incident occurred on 11 February on one of Kowary’s streets. At around 4:20 p.m., the homeless man approached the 93-year-old, grabbed him by the arms, then stole a phone from his pocket and fled.
The elderly man estimated his losses at PLN 50. Police detained the thief and determined that he had already sold the phone to a female resident of Kowary.
The 42-year-old was taken into police custody. At the time of his arrest, he was completely drunk—he had almost 3.5 per mille of alcohol in his system. He now faces up to 12 years in prison.
