Naples – The response from law enforcement was swift. Porta Capuana, long in the news as the site of rising crime and urban decay, was yesterday the focus of a massive, extraordinary patrol of the area. The operation, ordered by the Naples Police Headquarters as part of a significant intensification of surveillance, underscores the institutions' firm commitment to restoring law and order in one of the city's most sensitive historical areas.
What took place yesterday was a true joint display of forces, a clear and unmistakable signal. They operated side by side:
State Police personnel (from the Vicaria-Mercato, Decumani and San Giovanni-Barra police stations).
The Carabinieri military personnel.
The patrols of the Guardia di Finanza.
The essential support of the Local Police.
The synergistic use of various authorities demonstrates the utmost attention paid to the area to combat illegality in all its forms, from organized crime to the most widespread violations of the Highway Code.
Operation Balance Sheet: Numbers That Speak Clearly
The results of the major raid are significant and attest to the effectiveness of targeted controls:
160 people identified, a considerable number that allowed for widespread screening.

60 vehicles were searched.
Two vehicles were seized: one was subjected to administrative detention and the other was confiscated, extreme measures that severely affect those who do not comply with the rules.
12 violations of the Highway Code were reported, including cases of lack of insurance coverage and driving without a license, as well as parking bans that impact the decorum and traffic flow of the city.
Law enforcement is sending a clear message: the checks at Porta Capuana will not be an isolated incident. The strategic yet complex area requires constant, joint surveillance to eradicate the micro- and macro-criminality that threatens its social and commercial fabric.
The primary goal is to restore greater tranquility and legality to residents and merchants, essential for the rebirth of this important gateway to the city.
