Naples. During an anti-drug operation in Scampia, the State Police arrested a 26-year-old Neapolitan and seized a gun, a kilo of hashish and two kilos of marijuana.
The agents of the Scampia Police Station, assisted by the Canine Unit of the General Prevention Office, searched a villa in via Cupa Vicinale dell'Arco. The investigators' intuition led to the discovery of a false bottom under the chimney of the annex, where a Beretta 9×21 pistol with the serial number erased, ammunition and material for the maintenance of the weapon were hidden.
In the basement, the police seized 10 blocks of hashish for a total weight of about 1 kg. In a secondary avenue, several packages of marijuana were found for a weight of about 1,5 kg.
A laboratory for packaging drugs was set up in the basement
Finally, inside the tavern, 6.710 euros in cash, precision scales, vacuum machines, tools for packaging drugs and traces of narcotic substances were found.
The man, a 26-year-old from Naples, was arrested for possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing, possession of an illegal weapon and reported for illegal possession of ammunition.
Today's operation represents a serious blow to the drug trafficking in Scampia and testifies to the constant commitment of the State Police in fighting organized crime. In recent weeks, the news of Naples tells of numerous arrests of pushers between Scampia and Secondigliano, a sign that the drug market has resumed its activity.
