Authorities in Italy have reported multiple instances of juvenile vandalism involving minors. 

In Naples, two teenagers aged 14 and 15 were charged with aggravated damage in the Piscinola district after being caught by Carabinieri attempting to uproot a street bollard in Piazza Tafuri. The youths reportedly intended the act as a prank to gain social media likes.

In Grumello del Monte, seven minors were identified and charged following damage to the Chapel of Calvary. Investigators determined the group broke into the religious structure, shattering a display case and damaging a statue of the Madonna. The youths were identified through surveillance footage and videos they had filmed themselves.
