A Neapolitan con man in Valtellina has been arrested. He attempted to use the tried-and-true ploy of a fake accident on a victim's relative to scam elderly people. He succeeded with an elderly woman, defrauding her of €3 and several gold jewelry pieces. This scam sparked the investigation that led the Sondrio Police Headquarters' Flying Squad to arrest 37-year-old Gennaro Vaccaro of Naples, a convicted felon.
