Torre del Greco, escapes house arrest for the August 15th procession

A 29-year-old man under house arrest was stopped in Piazza Santa Croce in Torre del Greco after his electronic bracelet sounded an alarm.

During the Ferragosto celebrations in Torre del Greco, an alarm in Piazza Santa Croce attracted the attention of law enforcement. The electronic bracelet worn by a 29-year-old man, who should have been under house arrest, signaled his presence outside his authorized residence.

Carabinieri officers from the local unit responded immediately and located the young man among the crowd gathered for the religious festival. In addition to escaping house arrest, the 29-year-old was found in possession of a switchblade with a folding blade, leading to a charge of illegal possession of a weapon.

The man was arrested and taken into custody, pending judicial action. For the 29-year-old, it was certainly a different August holiday: first the square, the crowds, the prayers to Our Lady of the Assumption, and then the secure cells of the Carabinieri barracks.

There's no doubt about it, he didn't miss a thing.
