A shocking story shakes the quiet town of Mondragone. Two women, presumably of Bulgarian origin, have been reported for using their young daughters as accomplices in a series of thefts inside local businesses.

The victims: traders and the shadow of suspicion
The complaint reached the member of the Green Left Alliance, Francesco Emilio Borrelli, through the testimony of the wife of the owner of a household goods shop.
The woman described how the two suspects, accompanied by a 3-4 year old girl and a newborn baby, put into action a well-orchestrated plan: while one distracted the sales assistant by asking for a product, the other took her wallet out of her apron, and the older girl hid the stolen goods in her underwear.
The escape and the cameras: irrefutable evidence
The hasty escape of the two women, captured by the store's surveillance cameras, confirmed the suspicions. The images clearly show one of the women with the newborn in her arms, probably used to soften the victims and divert attention.
The appeal: let's stop this outrage
“It is unacceptable that children are exploited in this way,” said MP Borrelli. “We ask the police to step up controls and bring these people to justice, who not only commit crimes but also steal the innocence of children.”
