Naples. The streets of Vomero have been the scene of intense patrols by the Carabinieri, which have led to significant gains in the fight against drug dealing.
In the heart of the neighborhood, known for its liveliness and the presence of many young people, the military struck a heavy blow to a small drug dealing square.
At the center of the operation was the arrest of Raffaele Quaranta, a 54-year-old Neapolitan, caught red-handed while selling a dose of cocaine to a buyer.
The personal and home search led to the discovery of 13 more doses of the same substance, hidden in a particularly ingenious hiding place. The man, with a criminal record, was taken to prison at the disposal of the Judicial Authority.
But the Carabinieri's activity was not limited to the arrest of the drug dealer. During the checks, in fact, other situations of illegality emerged.
A young man with a knife was also stopped and reported
A 24 year old young man, found in possession of a switchblade knife with a 20-centimeter blade, was reported for illegal possession of a weapon. The weapon, hidden among his personal effects, could represent a serious danger to public safety.
In addition, three people were reported to the Prefecture as drug users. This is an alarming signal that highlights the spread of drug dealing in the neighborhood and the need to intensify controls.
The Carabinieri operation represents an important achievement in the fight against crime and demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to ensuring the safety of citizens.
The controls in the neighborhood will continue in a widespread manner to prevent new episodes of drug dealing and restore the tranquility to residents that they deserve.
