Rising Crime and Baby Gangs in Calvizzano: A Call for Action

CALVIZZANO. «Yesterday a 17 year old boy was stabbed for trivial reasons, probably at the height of an argument, on the Calvizzano street. A worrying criminal act that adds to the other episodes we have been recording in the area in recent weeks. It is no more rare for residents and non-residents to find themselves without vehicles because they have been stolen».

This was announced in a note on mayor of Calvizzano, Giacomo Pirozzi. «It is a worrying situation for our town which has been targeted by criminals and bandits for several weeks. Added to these are also the baby gangs that act in a similar way to clans: they threaten each other from a distance, clash over territories and give rise to actual armed raids. Already some time ago I stopped some young people and confiscated baseball bats from them which they would soon use to start a fight with the police. rival ‘gang’. Yesterday the situation degenerated with a stabbing and fortunately the young man involved is not in danger of his life. I asked for a meeting with the law enforcement agencies responsible for our territory in order to agree on a joint strategy aimed at curbing the criminal phenomenon – continues the mayor.

It is clear that, on the one hand, the babygang phenomenon has completely gotten out of control and on the other, criminals always act regardless of the danger. The police do an enormous job but it is clear that the law is too lenient towards these subjects. In the meantime, we cannot remain indifferent to what is happening and we cannot accept that our people get used to living in a climate of illegality and oppression» – concludes Pirozzi.
