Carabinieri have recovered six stolen scooters from a disused rural shed in an abandoned area on via San Benedetto in Castellammare di Stabia, according to a report by Metropolis Web.
The vehicles had been stolen during the night and were found inside the shed during the operation. They have since been returned to their legitimate owners.
The recovery forms part of ongoing investigations into vehicle thefts and the so-called "cavalli di ritorno" phenomenon, in which stolen vehicles are held with a view to a possible payoff for their return. The report does not say that an extortion attempt was connected to this specific case.
Investigators are continuing work to establish the vehicles' provenance, reconstruct the thefts and determine any responsibility. The report does not identify the owners, any suspected perpetrators, or the precise time of the recovery, and no further details were given about the condition of the vehicles or the legal status of any suspects.
