Sarno - A double operation by the State Police along the banks of the Sarno River led to the arrest of a woman and the detention of her accomplice, both caught red-handed in drug dealing activity in an area sadly known for its degradation and illicit activity.
At the center of the operation was a 31-year-old woman, originally from the province of Bari but long-time resident of the Piana del Sele, caught in the company of a 21-year-old Moroccan citizen, who was found to be illegally residing in Italy.
The couple was camping in a strategic and hidden spot, right under the railway bridge that crosses the Sarno River, when they were intercepted by a patrol.
At the sight of the officers, the two reacted instinctively, attempting a hasty and desperate escape in opposite directions, sparking a frantic manhunt.
The 31-year-old was promptly arrested.

The police operation appears to have been very effective, but I wonder how these illegal activities can continue to thrive in certain areas. It's important to have more frequent and effective checks to prevent similar situations.
