Reports of crime and vandalism in Italy have prompted increased security measures and law enforcement activity. Initial incidents included thefts and vandalism in cemeteries, such as the theft of personal items in Olgiate Comasco and the removal of brass bolts from tombstones in Modena, which created structural risks.

In response to various criminal activities and social disorder, authorities have intensified their presence. In Cremona, security checks at the Palace of Justice led to the seizure of knives from an individual. Meanwhile, in Ospitaletto, the Carabinieri are increasing patrols during evening and night hours following requests from local leadership to combat illegal activities and brawls.
