The officers managed to stop the two vehicles shortly thereafter. The checks revealed that both cars had their doors and ignitions forced open. In the 34-year-old's pockets, the officers found a screwdriver and a pair of scissors: typical tools used in car thefts. Further investigations revealed that the man had escaped from house arrest.
Both were thus arrested. The incident is part of a series of intensified checks by the State Police in the hilly areas of Naples, where reports of nighttime car thefts have increased in recent months.
