Ticketless street vendor forces train conductor to lock himself in cabin: reported

Over the weekend, the Naples Railway Police Department carried out simultaneous checks in all the stations in Campania and along the entire railway network. The national operation “ORO ROSSO” was also carried out, ordered by the Central Railway Police Service throughout Italy and aimed at preventing and combating copper thefts along the railway line.
