Naples - Late yesterday morning, a routine State Police patrol resulted in a record seizure in the Don Guanella neighborhood. Officers from the Office of General Prevention and Public Aid arrested a 49-year-old and a 35-year-old, both Neapolitans and already known to law enforcement for tobacco-related crimes.

The police were passing along Via Don Luigi Guanella when they noticed the two men carrying some boxes from an internal courtyard of a building.

The suspicious movement, combined with the presence of numerous packages already piled up, prompted the officers to intervene.

The search uncovered 825 cartons of cigarettes, all without the State Monopoly seal, weighing a total of 165 kilos in 17 boxes. This quantity was likely destined for the black market in the neighborhood and surrounding areas.

The two, caught red-handed, were arrested on charges of smuggling foreign manufactured tobacco. All the material was seized. Investigations are continuing to identify any accomplices and the supply chain of the illegal "blondes."
