Naples – They had organized a “return horse” to return a stolen motorcycle in exchange for 1.200 euros, but ended up in handcuffs.
State Police arrested two young Neapolitans, aged 18 and 20, on charges of aggravated extortion. The two, along with an accomplice currently wanted, had contacted the victim—whose vehicle was robbed during the night between Monday and Tuesday—proposing an exchange on Via Argine, in Ponticelli.
However, the Falcons of the Flying Squad also showed up at the meeting, following the owner of the vehicle as part of a lightning investigation.

The problem of youth crime is serious, but it is also important to understand the causes that lead to these behaviors. More effective educational work is needed to avoid similar situations.
It's true, but often kids don't think about what they do. We hope this case can serve as a lesson for many others and make them think before acting.
Reading this article I thought that the situation is very worrying. Young people should think about the consequences of their actions instead of involving themselves in criminal acts such as extortion and theft.
