Caserta– An investigation by the Caserta Flying Squad, coordinated by the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Prosecutor's Office, led to the arrest of eleven people believed to be responsible for a series of apartment burglaries, including a 130 euro robbery carried out on the night of December 31.
The gang, composed of members of a nomadic group, operated with meticulous organization. In the New Year's Eve raid, the thieves used two cars with stolen license plates to reach the home of a professional in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, taking advantage of his absence. They managed to steal money, jewelry, other valuables and two legally held guns.
The investigations revealed a well-structured system, as explained by the head of the Flying Squad Gianluca Tuccillo: each member had a specific task, from selecting targets to selling the stolen goods, to finding the cars needed for the robberies. During the 30 searches conducted with the support of over 200 officers, the Police seized seven high-powered cars used for the thefts.
After the robbery in the province of Caserta, the gang continued its criminal activity. On February 7, it burgled a house in Castrolibero, Calabria, while in the following days it operated in Veneto. Here, intercepted by the police, it fled to Bologna, where some members were stopped with stolen gold and jewelry. During the chase, the thieves also abandoned a bag containing rifles stolen in another robbery.
The turning point came on February 19: two members of the gang, a man and a woman of Roma ethnicity, were arrested red-handed while trying to break into a house, but found themselves face to face with the owners.
The investigation has dismantled an organization capable of operating quickly and efficiently, always ready to replace any arrested members thanks to family ties within the group.

The article talks about a major investigation that led to the arrest of eleven people, but I wonder how it is possible that such an organized gang can operate for so long without being stopped. There must be more control.
