Rome, Italy. Polish tourists victims of theft. There is an Ambasada's appeal

Rome is struggling with a wave of theft, which is victims of Polish tourists and pilgrims. The Polish consular authorities appeal to everyone with particular caution and warn that thieves are more and more bold.

Representatives of consular authorities indicate that along with the growing influx of pilgrims and tourists to the Eternal City in connection with the Holy Year and its subsequent mass events, the number of theft is also growing.

As they pointed out, most often theft occurs in the subway, but all crowded places, which do not lack in the capital, are dangerous Italian. More Poles are constantly reporting to the Consulate of the Republic of Poland, who were also robbed of identity documents.

On a record day, as noted, 14 temporary passports were issued to Polish citizens.

Even greater vigilance will be required on the days of the influx of tourists and the faithful at the Holy Week and Easter ceremony. Several hundred thousand people come to Rome.

Appeal of consular authorities

Advice, useful information and warnings for Poles were included in the Pilgrim's Holy Guide prepared by the Polish Embassy in Italy.

There is, among others, an appeal: “watch your documents, valuable items and money! Do not keep them in one place. Thefts in tourist places and in the means of public transport occur very often. If you arrived by car, do not leave any luggage or bags in a visible place.”

“Do not leave money, documents and valuable items (computers, telephones) in the vehicle at all. If the luggage must stay in the car overnight – park in the illuminated place covered by monitoring. In the case of theft – report it as soon as possible at the nearest karabinier or police post” – he was noted.
