Casapesenna – A SITES brand submachine gun, model “Spectre HC Pistol” caliber 9, was found last night during a search of the cellar of a 56-year-old man from Casapesenna.
The weapon, hidden inside a paint bucket, was complete with a double-stack magazine and accompanied by a large quantity of ammunition. The man was arrested by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of the Provincial Command of Caserta for illegal possession of weapons.
In addition to the submachine gun, investigators seized 149 bullets, most of which were compatible with the weapon found, and a magazine for a semi-automatic pistol.

The weapon, which was found not to be registered among those regularly registered in Italy, will now be subjected to further tests to verify its functioning and to establish whether it was used in previous criminal activities. Investigations are continuing to clarify the origin of the weapon and the possible involvement of the 56-year-old in illegal episodes.
The operation confirms the commitment of the police in the fight against illegal trafficking and possession of weapons, a phenomenon that continues to represent a threat to public safety.
