The suspects, three women aged between 31 and 36, were captured by security cameras while executing the embezzlement plan.

They entered the store separately to avoid raising suspicion and, with great speed, hid the products in their bags after only paying for low-cost items.

The images from the surveillance cameras accessed by the police were crucial in identifying those responsible.

In the case of the Cuban, she was found at her home in Italy, while the other two women, of Chilean nationality, were homeless.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the involvement of Cuban citizens in various crimes in Italy. Among the most recent cases is a violent robbery in Tivoli, where three Cubans were arrested in September 2024 for stealing a woman's purse through distraction tactics and physical violence.

Additionally, three Cubans were arrested for committing thefts in supermarket parking lots, specifically targeting elderly individuals, using distraction tactics such as throwing coins on the ground.

Another relevant case occurred in June 2024, when Edgar Molina, a 22-year-old Cuban, was arrested in Rome after it was discovered that he had a clandestine laboratory in the basement of his home, where he was manufacturing homemade weapons and ammunition.

Recently, Carlos Omar Morales, a 27-year-old Cuban, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the death of Teodoro Ullasci in L'Aquila, following a confrontation that resulted in an unintentional homicide.
