State Police carried out extraordinary checks in Brescia in the days before 5 November 2026, focused on the railway station, bus station, historic centre and zones considered most critical.[1] Officers from the Questura and the Carmine commissariat checked 191 people, including 104 foreigners and 83 with criminal records, as well as 23 vehicles and 11 public premises.[1] Twelve people were reported at liberty during the checks.[1]
In Via Parenzo, officers found five homeless foreign men with records inside a private villa whose tavern grates were damaged and reported them for joint invasion of land and buildings.[1] Four Brescia residents aged 32 to 40 checked in the centre and a 21-year-old Egyptian resident in Veneto were reported for breaching a mandatory order to leave the municipality of Brescia.[1] In Via Veneto, officers checking a 38-year-old homeless Egyptian man after a report of a nuisance found a switchblade knife and some doses of hashish.[1] The hashish was seized, and the man was reported for illegal possession of the weapon and sanctioned for drug possession.[1]
A 38-year-old homeless Indian man found to be irregularly present was also reported and faced removal from Italy pending expulsion.[1] Brescia police chief Paolo Sartori issued five expulsion orders against irregular foreigners, four mandatory orders to leave, five oral warnings and two bans on entering public premises against people with aggressive behaviour.[1] Police said the checks would continue in other municipalities in the province.[1]
