Naples.
The benches of Capuano Square more than relaxation points, they are real mobile drug sales points.And further confirmation of this phenomenon, which has already led to several arrests in recent months, occurred last night, when the agents of the Vicaria-Mercato Police Station, during their territorial control service, while passing through Piazza Capuana noticed, sitting on a bench, a person who, in exchange for money, gave something to a person.
At that point the officers intervened but both the seller and the buyer attempted to flee in different directions.
But after a short chase they reached and blocked the seller, finding him in possession of 5 packages of cocaine and 140 euros, the obvious proceeds of the buyer's drug dealing activity.
The buyer was also stopped and was found in possession of the dose he had just purchased.
Hidden under the bench were 5 more packages of the same substance.
For the 45 year old of Burkina Faso the handcuffs were snapped on, accused of illicit possession and supply of drugs as well as for resisting a public official, while the buyer was administratively sanctioned for possession of narcotics for personal use.
