Bosnian woman arrested for luggage thefts on Italian trains

Railway police in Rome have arrested a 50-year-old woman from Bosnia and Herzegovina for a series of thefts targeting passengers on trains traveling to the Italian capital.

Investigators noted that the suspect operated by blending in with commuters, maintaining a neat appearance and calm demeanor to avoid suspicion. She reportedly monitored passengers, specifically targeting those who appeared tired or inattentive, and selected luggage that was easiest to steal from designated storage areas.

Authorities apprehended the woman after conducting surveillance on her movements between train carriages. She faces charges for multiple counts of serious theft.
