Naples. A Saturday evening of routine checks suddenly turned into a manhunt in the heart of Naples. The Carabinieri, engaged in a massive deployment of forces in the city's most troubled neighborhoods, found themselves chasing four teenagers on two scooters.
It all started in the heart of the Sanità district, when four boys riding two scooters attempted to escape from a roadblock. Chased and stopped, two of them were found in possession of very dangerous switchblades. They are 17 and 14 years old respectively. An alarming signal that confirms the frequent use of weapons among the youth of the Neapolitan nightlife.
Not just knives on Saturday's checks
But the surprises didn't end there. In the triangle between Via Foria, Corso Amedeo di Savoia and the ring road, the Carabinieri arrested a man found in possession of numerous stolen spare parts. And again, a prisoner under house arrest was caught walking freely in the streets, while a young man, under the influence of alcohol, was stopped while driving.
Chiaia: nightlife under control, but not without surprises
The neighborhood too Chiaia has been carefully monitored. The premises have been thoroughly checked and fines have been issued for health and hygiene violations. In addition, illegal parking attendants had to deal with fines from the Carabinieri, while a young man was reported for drunk driving.
At the end of the night, the toll of the checks was heavy: in addition to knives, drugs, escapes and threats, dozens of fines were issued for violations of the highway code and numerous vehicles were seized.
