Carabinieri arrested two men after they allegedly tried to steal a refrigerated cold chamber from a municipal building in Lesina. The operation took place on 26 October in the Bocca di Lupo area, inside a facility owned by the Municipality and used for processing fish products. The arrest came after a report to the 112 emergency number about a possible theft in progress. Police found a white van parked near the fenced entrance. One suspect was inside the secured area, while the other was driving. When the carabinieri arrived, one man allegedly tried to leave, but was immediately stopped. Investigators later gathered clues suggesting the two entered the building and began dismantling the cold chamber, loading panels onto the van. During the on-site search, police recovered additional parts of the refrigeration unit, including motors, along with other material found inside the structure. Investigators also seized tools they considered compatible with the dismantling. The recovered material, except for what was seized, was returned to a municipal manager who filed a formal complaint. Officers also noted that the van’s number plate had been partially covered with black adhesive tape, apparently to make identification harder through surveillance systems. After the arrest, the two suspects were first placed under house arrest. At the validation hearing, the judge ordered the obligation to reside in their respective towns, Apricena and Lucera. The case is still at the preliminary investigation stage, and the suspects remain presumed innocent until a final court decision.
