In Brief

A parked camper was completely destroyed by fire in the early hours of April 26 in Ottobiano, Pavia province. All five occupants evacuated safely and no hospitalisation was needed. The cause is under investigation.

In the night between April 25 and 26, 2026, a parked camper was completely destroyed by fire in Ottobiano, Pavia province, Italy. According to sources, the fire started around 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. Five people were inside: two women aged 14 and 24, and two men aged 16 and 44. They all evacuated the vehicle on their own before firefighters arrived. Medics examined them at the scene; no hospitalisation was required.

Fire crews from Garlasco and Mede used foam to extinguish the blaze, which spread quickly due to flammable materials inside the living module. The camper was completely destroyed. The cause of the fire is under investigation. A similar incident occurred in January 2026 on the SP35 road in Certosa di Pavia, where a camper caught fire, reportedly due to a short circuit; two passengers escaped in time.

Man arrested in Modena for attempted theft of bicycles from parked motorhome

State Police in Modena arrested a 31-year-old man, already known to authorities, for attempted aggravated theft. Around 11:00 PM on Viale Martiri della Libertà, officers responded to a 112 emergency call from a street tutor reporting someone tampering with a parked motorhome. The suspect dropped a pair of shears and fled toward via Mascherella but was caught on Corso Adriano. Two of four bicycles originally secured to the motorhome's bike rack were found on the ground nearby, a third was hidden in a flowerbed at Parco Pertini, and the chain had been cut; a window was also broken. The arrest was validated by the preliminary investigations judge, who imposed an obligation to report to judicial police.

District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people.
