Two men were arrested after allegedly stealing fair merchandise worth over 250 euros in Ferrara, according to Italian media reports. The theft happened on Saturday around midday at the “Usi e Costumi” event in the Fiera di Ferrara. One suspect allegedly distracted a stall owner while the other took items from the counter worth 250 euros. The owner noticed the men’s actions and called the carabinieri after realizing items from her stand had been taken. Officers also identified the suspects using descriptions and an identity sketch. Police then tracked the pair down and intercepted them. During the operation, one of the suspects was caught while attempting to move away to avoid being identified, while the other was stopped by carabinieri. A portion of the stolen goods, made-up of handcrafted items, was recovered and returned to the rightful seller. The two men, aged 33 and 39, were arrested on suspicion of theft with aggravating circumstances committed in concert. The case is currently at the arrest and charging stage, with investigators having recovered part of the merchandise during their search.
