The Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of Bolzano, supported by the Carabinieri of the Companies of Egna, Brunico and Bolzano, arrested 3 people for conspiracy to commit burglaries and attempted burglary.
Article Key Points
The investigative activity, which began in February 2024 after several home burglaries in the province, allowed us to identify a criminal group composed of Albanian citizens, dedicated to evening and night-time burglaries.
The investigations led to the arrest of the 3 individuals, already involved in an improper robbery in Brunico on April 18, during which the owner of the house had been attacked. The Carabinieri have documented other 4 thefts (2 of which were attempted).
A thief and two accomplices
The group was composed of a insider, who recruited accomplices from Campania and provided logistical support, and two material perpetrators of the thefts.
A rental car took them to the scene of the theft. The inside man waited in a nearby parking lot, ready to pick up his accomplices if necessary.
The thieves hit multiple homes in a single night, taking advantage of areas with escape routes and close to rural areas.
Provincial Commander's Satisfaction
Il Colonel Raffaele Rivola, Provincial Commander of the Carabinieri of Bolzano, expressed satisfaction with the operation: “South Tyrol is often the target of criminal groups from outside the province, who prefer small towns. The implementation of video surveillance systems is an important deterrent and a valuable tool for investigations. In this case, in less than a month we dismantled the gang and prevented it from continuing its crimes.”
