Man arrested in Vicenza for breaching electronic monitoring device

Vicenza police have arrested a man found without the tracking device connected to his electronic monitoring bracelet. The court had ordered imprisonment.

Arrest for breach of precautionary measure

This morning officers from the Mobile Units section of Vicenza Police Headquarters arrested a man in Piazzale De Gasperi during a routine patrol. According to questure.poliziadistato.it, the individual was subject to an aggravated precautionary measure ordered by the Vicenza Court, which converted his removal from the family home into custodial detention.

The man was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet on his left ankle, but was without the portable tracker necessary for the functioning of the location system. Checks carried out at Police Headquarters confirmed that the device had been kept continuously discharged, rendering the monitoring void and compromising the protection of the alleged victim.

The court had ordered the precautionary measure to be toughened in response to repeated breaches of the conditions imposed. In evaluating the restrictive order, the magistrates also took into account a further incident of violence against a person for which the man is currently under investigation: a robbery. Following the completion of the investigation, the arrested man was taken to Vicenza Prison.
