Naples - A night of intensified security checks in the historic center and northern neighborhoods of the Campania capital. The Carabinieri have increased their presence in the area, following recent directives from the Prefecture.
The operations report includes arrests for drug dealing, reports for various crimes and numerous removal orders.
Pusher arrested with pepper spray
The operation started from Piazza Bellini, the beating heart of Neapolitan nightlife, where a 28-year-old of Gambian origin was arrested for drug dealing. The young man was caught by the military of the Naples Central Operations Unit while he was selling hashish and cocaine to a 31-year-old tourist and a Neapolitan minor.
On his person, in addition to 45 grams of hashish and 5 grams of cocaine, he also had a canister of pepper spray and cash, believed to be illicit proceeds. The man was transferred to prison, awaiting trial.
Fight against illegal parking attendants and predatory crimes
During the checks, five illegal parking attendants were reported between the city center and the Chiaia neighborhood.

It is important that checks are carried out but also that the people who live there are taken into account. Crime is a problem but we must also think about safety for everyone and not just for some.
