The Colombian Mule
“‘Russo? This is Scavazzon. There are two foreign couples, possibly South Americans, stealing underwear off the shelves.’ ‘I’ll be right there.’ Russo had worked for the police for years and had acquired a sharp eye for certain kinds of situations. He spotted the four thieves immediately. Their technique was tried and tested, but as old as the hills. The two women used their supposed inability to understand any Italian to monopolize the attention of the shop assistants, while the two men discree...tly stuffed underwear into a small travelling bag.
Russo took his cell phone from his belt and called the Carabinieri, explaining that the two men looked as if they might cause trouble if arrested inside the store. The Carabinieri intercepted all four shoplifters as they were leaving. A small crowd of onlookers formed as the thieves were bundled into the police van. The last to get in was Aurelio Uribe Barragán, better known as Alacrán.
The thieves were driven straight to the provincial headquarters of the Carabinieri, where they were taken to separate interview rooms, identified and questioned.MoreLess
