Broker turns stick- up artist
Italian, 52, ‘had to do something to save my family’
(ANSA) – Catania, March 10 – An Italian broker laid off because of the credit crunch became an armed robber to keep the wolf from the door.
The man, 52, was let go a month ago and turned to crime after having a series of job applications refused, he told police after being arrested for a pharmacy stick-up.
”I had to do something to save my family,” the man said.
The ex-broker was caught on surveillance cameras holding up a pharmacy in the centre of Catania.
Police spotted him at the wheel of a BMW Tuesday and arrested him after a brief car chase.
