ROME, 4 Apr. (dpa/EP) –
Four people suspected of having stolen a luxury watch from Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) have been arrested this Tuesday in Italy, local police reported.
Police said three men and a woman were detained after several months of investigation, and other expensive watches and cash were found during searches. All four have police records.
