Acts of hooliganism and vandalism , damage and theft from the center to the outskirts of Porto Torres . And talking about youth hardship is not enough.

In the heart of the city, residents no longer feel safe. «Late in the evening, groups of boys circulate through the streets of the center and do not limit themselves to disturbing the inhabitants of the area - complains a resident - but throw stones and eggs against the walls and doors of the houses , and under the influence of drugs they scream and damage cars ."

Episodes that worry the competent authorities and citizens, bad signals that must lead to the consequent evaluations.

“Last night a man was shouting at one of the residents , kicking his door and threatening him with death,” adds a woman, resident in the historic center. « Fear now reigns here during the night hours. Raids of aimless young people who carry out acts of vandalism only because they are bored and under the influence of alcohol and drugs."

For some, the streets have become racing tracks , with cars and motorbikes racing through the night, ignoring dangers and risks to things and people. And then the damage to public places , cars set on fire, monuments defaced by groups of young people stationed on the street.

For the Sardinian group leader Bastianino Spanu «for some years the situation of petty crime has been out of control . The understaffed police forces are unable to control the vast territory and the institutions continue to underestimate the safety problem , without considering the problem of drug addiction which is bringing entire families of Turrita to their knees."
