Casal di Principe. Carabinieri officers from the local station have busted a thriving drug trafficking ring, arresting three people and seizing an arsenal of weapons. The operation, conducted overnight, uncovered a fully-fledged drug market set up inside a residence.

The three arrested, all residents of Casal di Principe, are a 33-year-old, his 58-year-old mother and a 35-year-old. The charges against them are serious: dealing and possession of narcotics, receiving stolen goods and illegal possession of weapons.

Inside the home, which had been transformed into a meeting place for drug addicts, the Carabinieri found a veritable drug dealing laboratory. A table was set up with various varieties of drugs, including hashish, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. Customers were free to choose their preferred substance, and those who wished could consume the drugs directly on the premises. A home delivery service completed the offering, making the business even more profitable.

But not just drugs.

Also found in the home were a crossbow pistol, a rifle, an air rifle, and a hunting rifle, the latter of which had been stolen. This arsenal foreshadowed a potential escalation of violence.

The illicit activity was managed with a certain professionalism: the traffickers kept "account books" where they recorded names, quantities of drugs sold, and money collected. This organized system demonstrates that this was not simply a one-off activity, but a real business.

 Heroin, cocaine, hashish and marijuana seized

The operation's outcome was significant: in addition to the weapons, the Carabinieri seized over 200 grams of marijuana, 7 grams of hashish, 3 grams of cocaine, heroin, cutting agents, and all the materials needed to package the drugs.

The three arrested were taken to prison. This represents a serious blow to drug trafficking in Casal di Principe, further demonstrating the commitment of law enforcement to the fight against organized crime.

The operation carried out by the Carabinieri was very important for the community of Casal di Principe. Although there were many people involved, it is good to know that we are working against drug trafficking and violence. We hope that other similar actions can help reduce the problems.
