An Italian couple dubbed “Bonnie and Clyde” by police robbed at least three people by kissing wildly in a parked car, then jumping out to attack unsuspecting passers-by, news agency Ansa said on Tuesday.
Police arrested the pair in Milan on Monday, and nicknamed them after the U.S. gangster sweethearts.
The 27-year-old man and his 26-year-old girlfriend would sit in their car, passionately hugging and kissing to lull passers-by who may otherwise have suspected them of loitering, Ansa said.
Three women passing the car on different days in August were then suddenly assaulted by the man, who beat them and threatened them with a knife before taking all their belongings.
