The extraordinary checks ordered by the Naples Police Headquarters against drug dealing continue.
Yesterday morning, the agents of the Office of General Prevention and Public Aid arrested a 24-year-old Neapolitan, with specific precedents, caught red-handed in the act of selling a dose of drugs in Via Roma towards Scampia.
The young man, after taking a package hidden in a cavity, gave it to a buyer in exchange for money. The police intervened and stopped both: the buyer still had the dose he had just purchased, while the alleged pusher was found with 155 euros in cash. A dose of cobret and one of crack were also found in the cavity.
The 24-year-old was arrested for possession and dealing of drugs, while the buyer was given an administrative fine for personal use of narcotic substances.
