An evacuated apartment in Pozzuoli was found in disarray after an alleged burglary following the earthquake emergency in the Campi Flegrei area, in what one resident described as adding insult to injury after displacement from her home.

The case was reported by Il Mattino, which said resident Daniela Gandolfo returned to her home escorted by firefighters to recover essential belongings and found the apartment disturbed after an apparent break-in.

What was found in the apartment

Gandolfo said her home had been evacuated after being declared uninhabitable. When she re-entered with firefighters, she found rooms, wardrobes and drawers disturbed.

According to the report, clothing was scattered, storage areas appeared searched, and drawers had been emptied, signs the article presents as consistent with looting. The alleged burglary is framed as having occurred after residents had left because of the seismic emergency, when the home lacked adequate security monitoring.

The combined impact described in the reporting is earthquake-related displacement, loss of access to the home, and alleged theft from the evacuated property.
