Naples – An ambush in the city centre was foiled: yesterday, law enforcement found 4 rifles ready for use hidden under a car parked in via De Giaxa and wrapped in a sheet.
The weapons were sent to the scientific section to be examined and to establish whether they had been used in recent bloody events. The area where they were found is on the border between the Amicizia district and the Sant'Alfonso district, areas contested by the two most powerful clans in Naples, namely the Mazzarella and the Bosti-Contini.
Investigators have been reviewing footage from surveillance cameras in the area to try to identify the people who hid the powerful, ready-to-use weapons under the car.
Such a firepower would have been useful for a showy ambush but it is not excluded that it would have been useful for a large-scale robbery given that in the last few weeks the robbers, especially of post offices they appear to have increased their shares.
The anti-mafia prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the discovery of the weapons, which was reported this morning by the Naples news.
