Melito – An arsenal of war weapons, pistols, ammunition, bulletproof vests, and seven kilos of drugs: a 30-year-old and a 25-year-old from Naples end up in prison.
Yesterday, January 13, 2026, State Police personnel conducted a series of searches that resulted in the discovery of weapons and drugs. Specifically, officers from the Naples Police Headquarters' Flying Squad, along with personnel from the Campania Crime Prevention Unit, the Anti-Drug and Anti-Explosive Canine Units, and the Forensic Police, arrested two people: a 30-year-old Neapolitan man for carrying and illegally possessing a firearm and a 25-year-old Neapolitan man for illegally carrying a firearm.
The police checked a car in Melito carrying the 30-year-old, finding him in possession of a 6,35 caliber Beretta semi-automatic pistol.
The officers extended their searches to the man's home, where a plastic bag containing drug packaging material was found in the entrance hall (several vacuum-sealed plastic bags, masks, film, a vacuum-sealing machine, as well as precision scales and kitchen scales).
The man also had war weapons in his home, hidden inside the motor of an air conditioner located on the attic floor. In fact, two M70 AB2 rifles were found.
Furthermore, the police checked the home of the 30-year-old's partner in the historic center of Naples, where they found another 13 blocks of hashish weighing a total of approximately 1,3 kg.
At that time, the officers checked the 25-year-old's home in the same area, where they found a 6,35 caliber semi-automatic pistol with five rounds of the same caliber.
Subsequent checks allowed the officers to find in a local garage, located in Melito di Napoli, three .357 magnum revolvers, a 20-gauge pump-action shotgun, 312 cartridges of various calibers, 29 blocks of hashish weighing a total of approximately 3 kg, six bags containing approximately 650 grams of marijuana, 32 bags of cocaine weighing a total of approximately 2 kg, and two bulletproof vests.
The 30-year-old and the 25-year-old were taken to the Poggioreale prison pending further orders from the Prosecutor's Office.
