The circle is tightened around the man believed to be responsible for a series of thefts committed in recent weeks against the churches of the plain of Gioia Tauro. Following the complaints presented by the parish priests, the carabinieri of the Taurianova company, analyzing the video surveillance systems installed in the places of worship, have reconstructed the movements of the alleged author, who was reported.
Among the contested cases, the theft in the parish of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul stands out, where sacred objects had been removed, including pissids containing consecrated hosts, gesture that had caused profound disdain in the local community.
The gratitude of the mayor Roy Biasi to the Caribinieri for the immediacy of the intervention
“The news of the immediate identification by the carabinieri of the author of the sacrilegious theft in the church of the Ss. Apostles Peter and Paolo reassures the faithful and the population of Taurianova All, whose feelings of gratitude towards the weapon I feel I have to represent with the same participation with which, instead, in the immediate way of the fact, with the members of my junta we had manifested the dismay and concern.” This is what the mayor of Taurianova, Roy Biasi, declares, after learning of the referral to the judicial authority of a young man from another center, suspected of having scored several shots of the same kind in the plain of Gioia Tauro and in other Taurianovesi parishes. “Congratulations and thanks to the Carabinieri Company of Taurianova led by Captain Samuele de Cintio therefore – concludes the mayor Biasi – for the readiness again demonstrated, the effect of a thorough knowledge of the territory and the ability not to underestimate any criminal phenomenon much less that, such as the theft of money, objects and sacred symbols, which had thrown the faithful of different countries of the area in discouragement. We must continue to supervise that the hateful market of worship assets breaks and this is why I feel like thanking the Taurianovese parish priests for immediately acted, in some cases making the buildings safe with the installation of cameras, and denouncing an action that has offended everyone beyond the economic value of the removal in church “.
