CASTELLAMMARE DI STABIA – Movida under close observation in Castellammare and the surrounding municipalities: during the night just passed, the Carabinieri of the Stabiese Company carried out a vast extraordinary service of territorial control, which also involved the areas of Gragnano and Santa Maria la Carità, with the aim of guaranteeing safety and public order in the most frequented places during the weekend.
The most significant incident was in Santa Maria la Carità, where a 36-year-old, clearly agitated, attacked the owners of a bar. When the military arrived, the man resisted, making his arrest necessary. After being treated by 118, he was placed under house arrest.
Four reports were filed in total during the evening: a 20-year-old was reported for carrying a knife without justification, while a woman was reported for driving under the influence of alcohol. The same fate for a 50-year-old, accused of stealing an electric bicycle. A Gragnano, the Carabinieri also found a small quantity of hashish hidden inside cigarette packets hidden among the public flowerbeds.
The operation also included a series of personal and vehicle searches. A total of 145 vehicles were checked and 375 people were identified. Particular attention was paid to road safety: 45 fines were issued for a total of approximately 10 thousand euros. The most common violations involved failure to have the vehicle inspected, driving without a seatbelt, without a license or insurance, and using a cell phone while driving.

It was a very important intervention for the safety of our city, but there were too many arrests in my opinion. They should find more effective ways to manage the movida and not only issue fines and arrests.
