We're not at the circus, but in the center of Avellino, specifically in Piazza Castello. A thief, according to those reporting, after breaking into a second-floor apartment with acrobatics, managed to leap onto the sidewalk and climb two balconies to escape.

The criminal enterprise was filmed by residents' cell phones and posted on social media. The unpleasant thing besides the thief is the fact that some people who witnessed the scene pretended nothing had happened. As many citizens told the Green-Left Alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, Irpinia has been experiencing a theft emergency for some time.

"A region at the mercy of increasingly unscrupulous and arrogant criminals and thieves. They challenge the law and institutions even in broad daylight. Why? The reason is simple: they know they'll get away with little or nothing," Borrelli stated. "We need harsher and, above all, more certain sentences. In the meantime, however, we need to implement that much-vaunted and often-promised security plan." "Regarding the Avellino incident , the mayor, with whom we spoke, is verifying the report with the Police Commissioner to determine whether there have been complaints and whether the individual in question was indeed a thief," the MP concluded.
