A 53-year-old foreign caregiver was arrested by the Naples State Police as she was believed to be involved in the robbery suffered by a couple in the Piedigrotta area of the city after being drugged with bean soup laced with a doping substance.
The woman was also notified of her arrest because she was found in possession of a counterfeit document.

The loot was considerable: 50 thousand euros in cash and gold jewelery worth around 100 thousand euros.
