Two separate house incidents were reported in Lauro during the same evening, according to local press reporting from IrpiniaNews.
In one case, thieves attempted to break into the home of a police officer but did not succeed. Nearby, a villa belonging to a local professional was entered, and objects were taken.
The incidents occurred on Via Cavalieri di Vittorio Veneto and Via Tito e Costanzo Angelini.
According to the report, items taken from the villa included objects and, allegedly, a legally owned firearm. That detail remains reported rather than independently confirmed by an official statement in the available material.
The suspects reportedly fled through the surrounding countryside.
Investigations were underway involving the Lauro police station and the Carabinieri station in Lauro.
No suspects have been identified in the acquired report, and no arrests were confirmed. The report does not specify the exact time of the incidents, the value of the stolen property, or whether the same people were responsible for both episodes.
