Malpensa Airport theft ring: 10 women arrested for 100 thefts

Italian State Police have arrested 10 women, including minors, for their involvement in approximately 100 thefts at Malpensa Airport. The suspects targeted transit passengers using a coordinated modus operandi.

By exploiting crowded areas such as elevators and using bags or jackets to conceal their movements, the group distracted victims to rapidly steal wallets, cash, and valuables. The investigation, coordinated by the Prosecutor's Offices of Busto Arsizio and the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office of Milan, relied heavily on the analysis of surveillance footage, photographic comparisons, and surveillance operations conducted by the Border Police.
