A stolen car dismantling operation was discovered: a syndicate that operated two warehouses in the industrial area of ​​Casoria. Thanks to a police operation, the gang was dismantled and five people were arrested.

And in fact yesterday afternoon, the officers of the Secondigliano Police Station and the Highway Police Department for Campania and Basilicata carried out an inspection at an industrial area in the municipality of Casoria, consisting of two sheds.

They noticed a car parked at the entrance to the complex, without license plates and partially hidden. The police officers, suspicious, ascertained that the latter was stolen and, for this reason, they entered the area where they surprised a man in a car finding him in possession of 5.070 euros.

At that point there was good reason to believe that man had the function of “lookout”, and for this reason they extended the control to the two warehouses, surprising inside the first one, used as a workshop, a man intent on handling a grinder on a car part, and they also found numerous car parts of different makes and models, already dismantled.

Instead, in the second shed, used as a warehouse, the police found further parts of already catalogued cars, as well as chassis with identification numbers filed off, in order to prevent their identification, and a frequency jammer, the so-called “JAMMER”, which prevents the location of the GPS systems of stolen cars.

 All 5 members of the gang found on the scene arrested

Inside the same building, three other people were caught red-handed loading car parts into a van. Having reconstructed the dynamics of the facts, all those present, identified as five Neapolitans aged 42 to 62, with previous police records, were arrested in competition for money laundering.

Now the investigations continue to trace the possible accomplices, that is, mechanics and owners of workshops who then had the task of reselling the car parts already sectioned or to be reassembled on other cars.
