Casalnuovo, the shutter does not rise and the thieves give up

Casalnuovo.First, only one of them gets out of the car they arrived in to carry out the robbery, disguised with a hooded sweatshirt, balaclava and gloves, and armed with a crowbar to force open the shutter of the targeted shop.

Then the accomplice arrives, also equipped with a crowbar, to lend a hand, but the shutter does not give way and the two criminals abandon their attempt to theft.

This is just one of the many thefts or attempted thefts that occur every day between Naples and the province. The episode happened in casalnuovo.

“They tried again a theft" declares the owner of the affected business, who turned to the deputy of the Green-Left alliance Francesco Emilio Borrelli, “in my place in Via Napoli 77 in Casalnuovo di Napoli. It’s the second time in two months. I’m tired, I’ve already reported it to the authorities, but there are not enough controls. How can we go on like this?”

Second attempted theft in two months

"An unsustainable situation for citizens and merchants. Security and the local economy are threatened by a criminal system that feeds on thefts and robberies, not effectively countered by the institutions. It is not that our police forces lack the will to control the territory, but at the present time it is absolutely impossible to control and monitor all the areas at risk.

There are few agents, and the Minister of the Interior, for over a year now, had promised new personnel, but here only uniforms arrived to replace those retired. Crime is not fought with propaganda and words, but with concrete facts and safeguards of legality,” say Borrelli and Rosario Visone, regional co-spokesperson for Europa Verde.
