A family was at home in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno, when thieves entered their apartment and searched the upper floor without being noticed.

According to reports in Il Mattino Salerno, SalernoToday and Agro24, the burglary took place in an apartment on Via Tenente Bruno Lombardi. The residents were in the kitchen watching television at approximately 19:30 when the intruders entered.

The primary account suggests that background noise from the television helped cover the thieves' movements. That explanation remains an inference from the circumstances described in the press reports rather than a confirmed investigative finding.

Entry through a window

The reports state that the intruders entered through a window after making a small hole near the window handle to gain entry.

The same accounts report that an exterior light had been removed. The reports do not establish why the light was removed.

Once inside, the thieves went upstairs. There, they removed objects and valuables from bedroom drawers and used a pillowcase to carry them away.

The residents noticed what had happened only later. The stolen goods had still not been precisely quantified in the available reports, and the reports do not confirm whether any property was recovered.

The residents reported the burglary to the authorities.

A second reported incident

Local coverage also describes a separate incident on Via Nicola Capuano in Castel San Giorgio.

In that case, a person was recorded by cameras around 21:00. SalernoToday reports that investigations began into the two incidents.

The identities of the perpetrators have not been established, and the available reports do not confirm whether the two reported incidents were connected.

What is confirmed and what is not

What the three local reports agree on is the location, the approximate time of entry, and the fact that the family was in the kitchen watching television while the upstairs rooms were searched.

What remains unknown is the exact date of the burglary, the precise value of the items taken, whether anything was recovered, and whether the person recorded on Via Nicola Capuano was linked to the burglary on Via Tenente Bruno Lombardi.
