Eboli – A nighttime burglary occurred at the Palasele sports stadium in Eboli, where unknown individuals stole copper cables estimated to be worth more than €15. According to preliminary investigations, the thieves appeared in recent days, operating with speed and precision inside the well-known sports facility on Via dell'Atletica.
It is believed the theft was carried out by at least three people who arrived at the scene in a van. After neutralizing the high-voltage poles, the criminals tampered with the manholes and removed hundreds of meters of copper electrical cables, then loaded the material onto the van and fled.
The way the theft was carried out – targeted, silent and rapid – suggests the work of a specialized gang or a commissioned action. The damage caused is enormous, not only on an economic level but also functional: the Palasele, in fact, is currently without electricity.
Law enforcement has launched an investigation to identify those responsible. Meanwhile, work is underway to restore the electrical system to allow the facility, a key hub for sporting events, concerts, and other events in the Sele Plain, to reopen.
It's a very serious matter that the theft occurred at the Palasele in Eboli. The thieves should be severely punished, because stealing copper cables is no small matter and creates inconvenience for everyone.
