Rome’s busiest railway station was reduced to chaos after thieves stole thousands of pounds worth of copper wiring and cables.

Those pesky Italian kids. I swear.
Police arrested four Romany gipsies on suspicion of stealing 2,000kg of copper, worth around £2,700 as scrap, from a commuter station through which trains are routed to the capital’s main hub, Termini.
The scrap metal was found hidden beneath a pile of tyres in the makeshift camp in which the four gipsies, aged between 20 and 28, live on the outskirts of the city.
Oh, I guess it wasn’t Italian kids after all. Who knew?
