Theft alarm returns to houses and villas in Tuscia. In recent days a new wave of thefts has been affecting homes in various municipalities in the province: from Viterbo to the Cimini mountains, passing through Sutri, Ronciglione and other locations.
The most recent episodes occurred yesterday evening, November 7, between Corchiano and Nepi. Some thieves broke into homes during dinner time, managing to steal money, gold and jewels. The police intervened promptly, but the criminals managed to escape. Investigations are underway, also with the help of surveillance cameras: the videos could provide useful images to identify any suspicious cars and trace those responsible.
Thefts, not only committed but also attempted, have also occurred in Gallese, Carbognano, Caprarola, Sutri and Ronciglione in recent days. A wave that is causing anger and concern among citizens. Some traders and residents have expressed fear that someone might decide to defend themselves independently. The owner of a business in Caprarola declared: “Now we go around with baseball bats in the car. I wouldn’t want anyone to decide to defend themselves, using regularly owned weapons.”
The opposition councilors of Carbognano, Rossano Baldinelli, Marco Caccia and Daniela Gemini, have filed a motion in the city council to urge a more decisive institutional intervention. They ask for the convening of the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security and propose the installation of a widespread video surveillance system that also covers peripheral roads and isolated houses, as well as promoting the sharing of information between local authorities and police forces. order.
“Citizens – the councilors underline – need not only real security, but also perceived security. Today it is essential to address these problems, which influence the habits of residents and limit their personal freedom. It is no longer possible to ignore this need For this reason we ask that the committee be convened by the prefect in one of the affected towns. As a community of Carbognano we are available to make the conference room of the deconsecrated church of Santa Maria available”.
