The widespread presence of police officers from the Campania Railway Police Department throughout the perimeter of the station, in addition to increasing the perception of safety in travellers, facilitates prevention activities by allowing a clampdown on illegal activities and allowing all those crimes usually committed in very crowded places to be nipped in the bud. The balance of the last 72 hours is 4591 people checked, 6 arrested and 12 reported at large.
Yesterday alone, the activity of the Naples Railway Police allowed 4 people to be brought to justice: one for attempted robbery, one for resisting and maliciously injuring a public official and two for aggravated theft. Two other people, including a woman, were reported for interruption of public service; in the Salerno Station, however, a man was reported for resisting and injuring a public official.
NAPLES: AC, a twenty-six-year-old from the Ivory Coast, identified his victim: an elegant woman, alone and distracted while she was busy talking on her cell phone. An easy “prey”, who would not have put up any resistance, ensuring the success of the robbery without much effort. But what he did not take into account was the woman's determination and the presence of the Polfer police officers ready to ruin his criminal plans. Thus the Ivorian citizen was arrested for attempted robbery against the woman, an engineer from Cosenza who had just left the Naples Central Station. The unfortunate woman, busy talking on her cell phone, while walking along the sidewalk in front of the station felt herself grabbed and violently pulled by the twenty-six-year-old in an attempt to take her cell phone away. The victim, frightened and in pain caused by the Ivorian's grip, began to scream, attracting the attention of the Railway Police officers who immediately stopped the robber. After the routine checks, which revealed several criminal records against him, the man was arrested for the crime of attempted robbery and sent to the local police station. Judged with a summary trial, the Ivorian was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of imprisonment, a fine of 800 euros and was ordered to report to the PG.
NAPLES: He was wandering along the tracks brandishing a wooden stick made from a tree branch and hitting it on stationary trains, just when the central station, in addition to the usual traffic of commuters and tourists, was filled with thousands of young people and students who had arrived in the Neapolitan capital to take part in the environmental demonstration.
DP, a thirty-one-year-old Neapolitan, noticed by the Corporate Protection staff of the Italian Railway Network, was reported to the police officers on duty at the station. The Polfer patrol spotted him along the tracks while he was waving his baton and swinging it furiously in the air, accompanying his gestures with shouts, thus risking creating panic among the thousands of people present inside the railway yard. At the sight of the police officers, DP entered the cabin of a locomotive stopped on the tracks with the intention of damaging it but was immediately stopped by the officers. The thirty-one-year-old, finding himself cornered, first threatened the police officers verbally and then lunged at them, hitting them on the head, arms and shoulders with the baton. Despite his vehemence, the police officers managed to immobilize him, disarm him and take him to the Office. Both Polfer officers, who sought medical attention, were found to have blunt force trauma that will heal in 15 days. Therefore, the man, who was unable to give an explanation for his unusual and unreasonable gesture, was arrested for resisting arrest and aggravated malicious bodily harm and was taken to the holding cells of the local Police Headquarters to be subjected to a direct trial. This morning he was sentenced to 8 months in prison with conditional suspension of the sentence.
NAPLES: The Railway Police Department for Campania is paying particular attention to the phenomenon of pickpocketing and after the capture in recent days of the members of the "pig-pickpocket gang", followed by the arrest of the "lone wolf", which also occurred thanks to the help of a courageous citizen who had filmed the action, yesterday the police arrested two more professional pickpockets, MP and VDP from Naples, with multiple criminal convictions, aged 60 and 72 respectively, who were operating in the Piazza Garibaldi station.
Applying the usual modus operandi, they chose the victim on the platform, in this case a foreign tourist; when the train arrived, taking advantage of the confusion, one distracted him by blocking his passage while the accomplice, with extreme skill and without anyone noticing, took an envelope containing money from his pants pocket. After committing the crime, the two quickly got off the train as they were about to close the doors and tried to walk away. But on the platform there were the Polfer police officers who a few minutes earlier had noticed MP, recognizing him as the pickpocket already arrested last September 16 and subjected to the regime of obligation to report to the PG. The officers immediately stopped the two criminals while the train continued its journey with the unaware victim on board.
The two offenders handed over to the police the envelope stolen from the tourist, which contained banknotes of various denominations, for a total value of 785 euros, still wrapped in the bands of the foreign bank that had carried out the currency exchange.
Arrested for aggravated theft, MP and VDP were tried this morning with a summary trial and sentenced to 2 years in prison, a fine of 800 euros and placed under house arrest.
NAPLES: Among the 12 reported over the last week for the most disparate crimes such as false attestations, receiving stolen goods, threats to public service officials and trade in products with false markings, two Neapolitans stand out, a man and a woman who were reported to the AG late yesterday afternoon for interruption of public service. Being caught on a train without a ticket is a violation that requires the payment of a fine. But going from an administrative offense to a criminal offense is a very short step. This is what happened late yesterday afternoon to a 45-year-old man, a criminal, and his thirty-four-year-old partner.
The two, caught without a ticket by Corporate Protection personnel of Rete Ferroviaria Italiana in the Piazza Garibaldi metro station, refused to buy a ticket or pay the fine, claiming that they had no money available; furthermore, despite the insistence of the Italian FS personnel, they did not want to comply with the invitation to get off the train, with the arrogant and threatening claim to continue the journey to the Naples-Gianturco station. The immediate intervention of the Polfer restored the proper order with the couple getting off the train and the resumption of the regional train, which remained stuck in the station where it accumulated a delay of over ten minutes that had repercussions on the entire metro circulation. For these reasons, the two, taken to the Polfer offices, were reported, in a state of freedom, for the crime of interruption of public service.
SALERNO: A drug addict was reported by agents of the Salerno Railway Police Subsection. Alerted by telephone by FS Italiane personnel on duty aboard a metropolitan train, the Polfer intervened together with 118 medical personnel, for a person taken ill on the train. In the bathrooms, a man was helped, later identified as GM, a thirty-one-year-old resident in the province of Salerno, lying on the floor with an empty syringe next to him. Transported by ambulance for first aid, the man went berserk, trying to hit the medical staff. Taken to the hospital with the help of the Railway Police, GM, under the influence of narcotics, continued to struggle and to escape the attention of the medical staff, he kicked a policewoman, hitting her in the shoulder. The Polfer agent who sought medical attention was found to have a shoulder contusion with a prognosis of 5 days of rest. Therefore, after the usual checks, the thirty-one-year-old was reported at liberty for the crime of resisting and injuring a Public Official.
