There were those who had just left the house, taking advantage of the beautiful day to get some fresh air or drink a coffee, or who had taken the opportunity to visit friends. Result: the quiet village of Mustonateon the hills just outside Varese overlooking the lake was targeted by a battery of thieves who went into action in at least three residences in just a few minutes raiding everything of value he found. The result was tens of thousands of euros in loot, with the thieves who probably took flight passing through the green areas surrounding the neighborhood. It was around 4.30pm on Sunday when the multi-person gang went into action.
Some of the residents, in hindsight, recalling having noticed some people they had never seen before in those parts walking around the village with sweatshirts and hoodies: they were the “poles” that signaled to the accomplices where to strike and how to take action and then, as soon as the raid was completed, when to exit without being seen.
In one case the thieves entered the home of an elderly woman shortly before the woman returned home: it is the technique to minimize the possibility of transforming the theft into an improper robbery, i.e. when the robbed person is also attacked by violent actions. The was called to the scene State Police intervened with more police cars.
