In Pollena Trocchia, the Carabinieri discovered an illegal cache of fireworks inside a fruit and vegetable store in the town center. During a targeted search, officers from the Cercola station found 630 "Cobra" canisters, weighing approximately 29 kilograms, hidden among the fruit and vegetable crates on display.
In addition to the canisters, 11 unapproved flares were also found in the premises, deemed dangerous and prohibited by current legislation. The highly flammable and potentially explosive material was immediately seized and neutralized by the bomb disposal squad of the Naples Provincial Command, who rendered the load harmless.
The shop owner, a 21-year-old from Pollena Trocchia, was arrested for illegal possession of explosives and placed under house arrest pending a summary trial. He will be charged with storing a quantity of fireworks in a public place that seriously endangered the safety of customers and local residents.
The operation is part of a broader territorial control plan implemented by the Carabinieri of the Naples command, with particular attention to illegal fireworks storage in preparation for the Christmas and New Year holidays, a period when the risk of accidents and misuse of pyrotechnic materials increases.
