Jilted Italian woman 'vandalised 60 Alfa Romeos to get back at ex'

An Italian woman has been arrested for allegedly vandalising 60 Alfa Romeo
cars because they reminded her of her ex-lover.

Police say the 28-year-old woman told officers she damaged the cars because
her former boyfriend drives the same make and model.

She is accused of going on a two month wrecking spree, armed with a pair of
scissors and scratching the bodywork and slashing the tyres of the cars.

Officers arrested the woman after setting up surveillance on Alfa Romeos
parked in the town of Rovereto, near Trento, in northern Italy.

Police say she claimed she did it because the cars reminded her of her
former boyfriend, and it was her way of getting even with him.

Prosecutor Marco Gallina says the woman has been placed under house arrest,
and will be charged with damaging the cars as well as attacking the officers
who arrested her.
