Caserta – This time too, the ploy failed to prevent the seizure of the drugs intended for smuggling into the prison.
No one was involved and there was no chance of any inmates being held there. It happened in the prison in Arienzo, in the province of Caserta. More precisely, in the prison parking lot.
Someone had thought it a good idea to hide the drugs in the equipment room located outside the facility, in the parking area: access to that area is reserved only for working inmates who, presumably, were waiting for the right moment to bring the drugs into the detention area.
Tyson's drug-sniffing dog's nose led to the discovery of the drug
But thanks to the nose of the drug-sniffing dog Tyson, plans to smuggle the drug into prison were foiled. The Penitentiary Police at Arienzo Prison, along with personnel from the Benevento canine unit, seized approximately 100 grams of hashish and 10 grams of cocaine.
"Congratulations to the prison police at Arienzo," commented USPP President Giuseppe Moretti and Regional Secretary Ciro Auricchio, who stated, "the constant discovery of drugs and cell phones in prisons demonstrates that the prison police are a professional and highly specialized force.
Tyson has also become a nightmare for drug dealers. In Campania, despite the staff shortage of around 500, maintaining internal order and security is now only possible with great sacrifice.
Reading this article, I noticed that the situation in prisons is truly complicated. Despite the efforts of the prison police, it seems like the attempts to smuggle drugs in are never-ending. Tyson is a wonderful dog, but more support is needed.
