The extraordinary checks ordered by the Naples Police Headquarters to combat drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons in the Neapolitan capital and the metropolitan area continue without stopping.
Yesterday evening, officers from the San Giovanni-Barra Police Station, during a targeted operation, noticed a suspicious exchange between the drivers of two cars on Via Fabio Giordano. The driver of one car gave an object to an occupant of the other vehicle in exchange for a banknote.
Immediately afterwards, the two cars drove off in opposite directions, but the police intervened quickly and stopped one of the cars a short distance away, on Via Giuseppe Mercalli.
The driver was an 18-year-old Neapolitan, already known to the police, found in possession of 21 packages of hashish for a total weight of 103 grams and 410 euros in cash, divided into banknotes of various denominations, believed to be the proceeds of the illicit activity.
The young man was arrested on charges of illegal possession of narcotics. Furthermore, during the checks it emerged that he was driving without a license, never obtained, for which he was also fined for violation of the Highway Code.
The anti-crime operations will continue in the coming days, with the aim of ensuring greater safety for citizens.
