Boat thefts in Desenzano: port security at risk

Desenzano, boat thefts and port security: the situation worsens. In recent days, the Port of Desenzano has experienced a worrying increase in thefts and vandalism affecting moored boats. For the past three weeks, boat owners have reported that several vessels are broken into and robbed every night, creating an atmosphere of insecurity among the owners. In the past, the local administration had addressed these issues with targeted interventions such as the installation of surveillance cameras and enhanced lighting, but now many feel vulnerable once again. Owners have already reported the incidents to the relevant authorities and have initiated a chat to monitor criminal activities. Despite requests to improve the port’s security, such as installing gates to restrict access to the docks, bureaucracy has hindered these measures. The local police chief and the security councilor are aware of the situation and are reviewing the camera footage to identify those responsible for the illegal acts. The boating community is calling for urgent action so they can return to using the port in peace. Italian Version
