The City Hall of Campina, a city in Prahova county, has hired private detectives who will be in charge of identifying those who steal flowers from the city’s parks, destroy the urban furniture or throw garbage on the streets, among other things.

The detectives hired by the City Hall will work for six months, starting July 1, and will be paid over RON 16,000 (some EUR 3,400), local Adevarul reported.

The initiative belongs to the public administrator of the city, Remus Bădulescu, who believes the private detectives will provide valuable information to the local policemen, who can no longer handle of these anti-social cases alone.

For example, the detectives will have to identify those who perform commercial activities without authorization, to monitor improvised garbage dumps and identify those who throw their garbage in these places, to find the people who abandon dogs on the streets, to help combat the theft of flowers planted in the city, to find those who destroy the city’s trees or urban furniture, and to identify those who draw graffiti on public buldings.
