The mayor of Benevento addresses concerns about the increased risks of break-ins during the holidays

“I have read with the attention it deserves the letter of Majority Councilor Marcello Palladino. I fully share the concern and fear that the end-of-year holidays, together with the global increase in mobility and travel, could lead to the risk of an increase in predatory home invasions.” Thus, in a statement, the mayor of the city of Benevento, Clemente Mastella, who, regarding the theft alarm, adds: “Despite the crime statistics that show much better data than other territories, the vastness of the area, rich in districts and sparsely populated rural areas , reveals the City to objective dangers regarding a particularly heinous crime, such as spiraling home burglaries, certainly does not help mitigate such phenomena The problem is in the attention of law enforcement police, whom I thank for their valuable deterrence work in the face of many difficulties, I have personally urged targeted interventions to protect, in particular, rural areas of the city and families living in remote and therefore potentially more exposed areas the risk of theft.” “I fully agree with Marcello Palladino,” concludes Mastella, “on the need to actively collaborate with law enforcement: any suspicious movement must be reported. Never give in to useless and harmful do-it-yourself temptations, nor to alarmism, but cooperate. smart with the police force.”
