In Piazza del Plebiscito, youths cut down tents and stole drinks and supplies from Neapolis Marathon stands.

Naples – The Carabinieri of the Naples mobile radio unit intervened at 12:45 a.m. today in Piazza del Plebiscito, alerted via the single emergency number 112 by a security company responsible for monitoring the stands and facilities of the Neapolis Marathon Village.
