QThis night the station arrested Pasquale Manzo, a sixty-year-old local man already known to the police, for illegal cultivation of narcotics.

The Carabinieri had noticed a plantation of marijuana composed of 19 plants about 3 meters tall each complete with inflorescences. The plants were hidden among the cultivation and in particular among the tomatoes.

Daylight gives way to night and finally a man approaches the plantation. He is the 60-year-old and, busy watering the plants, he does not even notice the arrival of the carabinieri who arrest him.
