Naples. Surreal scenes on Friday evening in the city centre, where a baby gang carried out a theft of decorations Christmas decorations from a shop on Via Toledo, one of the busiest streets in the city. The group, made up of hooded kids, showed up on the spot with a ladder over three meters high, acting in the general indifference of citizens and tourists.
Despite the street being crowded, the young delinquents stole a tree of Christmas and other decorations without being disturbed, and then quickly disappeared. The episode was captured on surveillance cameras of the business, which recorded every moment of the robbery.
The images of the theft were sent to the deputy of the Green Left Alliance Francesco Emilio Borrelli, who reported the incident, underlining how similar episodes could be linked to the ancient tradition of the Sant'Antonio memorial, which involves the burning of trees during the January celebrations.
"The thefts of trees for the monument of Sant'Antonio have begun. Hooded like criminals, they use a ladder of over three meters in general indifference", commented Borrelli.
The case has sparked outrage and concern, once again highlighting the phenomenon of baby gangs in Napoli and on the need for more incisive interventions to ensure safety on the city streets.
