Naples – The fight against drug trafficking in the city's sensitive areas continues. Yesterday morning, State Police officers completed another operation in Piazza Enrico De Nicola, culminating in the arrest of a 30-year-old man.
The operation is part of the extraordinary territorial control operations organized by the Naples Police Headquarters. Officers from the Vasto-Arenaccia Police Station, while patrolling the area, caught the man—a Nigerian citizen with an undocumented status and a criminal record—selling a package to a buyer in exchange for money.

Upon seeing the uniforms, the suspect attempted to flee on foot, leading to a brief chase that ended shortly afterward when the officers managed to block his path. The search confirmed the suspicions: the man was found in possession of approximately 6 grams of heroin and the €10 bill he had just cashed.
The 30-year-old was arrested on charges of possession with intent to distribute narcotics and resisting arrest. The buyer, however, managed to disappear into the surrounding streets shortly before the intervention.
