The carabinieri point out that the investigation is still ongoing, but that they “do not rule out the possibility that they are thieves”. “That’s one of the assumptions,” it seems. The burglars dug the tunnel under an empty store and likely had their eyes on a nearby bank. During the Ascension weekend, Italian shops traditionally close their doors. They may want to take advantage of it.
While digging the tunnel, the ceiling collapsed. “Help, free me! the man would have called. Rescuers then dug a second tunnel to save the man.
Oxygen and fluids

“Two Neapolitans were arrested for resisting an official. Two Romans were arrested for causing damage, including one who was in the tunnel and is currently hospitalized,” police said.
