On the 3rd of August, it was reported that unknown thieves stole part of the floor tiles from the church of the Holy Spirit in piazza Cirillo in Aversa. The thieves took parts of the floor but left their tools behind. The authorities believe it is unlikely that the criminals wanted to return, as the church is closed to the public and deconsecrated. The carabinieri is investigating with use of security cameras.
Upon hearing the news of the raid on the Church of the Holy Spirit, Mayor Alfonso Golia commented: 'It was really a punch in the stomach. I trust in the work of the police forces'.
