During the night, the Carabinieri of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Territorial Department of Mondragone intercepted and reported three 17-year-old Egyptian minors for aggravated theft.
The young people were caught while carrying four heavy concrete statues, depicting animals and used as garden furniture, along the Via Domiziana in Castel Volturno, in the province of Caserta.
The Carabinieri, during a patrol, noticed the three boys struggling to carry the statues and stopped them for a check. The minors were unable to provide any explanation as to the origin of the objects. Shortly after, the owner of a nearby hardware store arrived on site and reported the theft of the statues.
Subsequent investigations, supported by images from the store's surveillance cameras, allowed us to reconstruct the dynamics of the theft and identify those responsible. It emerged that the three young people had been away for several days from two reception facilities located in the Caserta and Salerno areas.
After the victim made a formal complaint, the three minors were taken to the police station and subsequently handed over to the heads of their respective reception facilities. The stolen goods were returned to their rightful owner.
