Napoli- Blitz dei carabinieri della Stazione Napoli Stella nella serata di ieri: un 20enne del quartiere, già noto alle forze dell’ordine, è stato arrestato con l’accusa di detenzione di sostanze stupefacenti ai fini di spaccio.

The operation began during a house search of the young man's home, where he immediately attempted to disrupt the officers' activity by diverting their attention to other areas of the house.

The backpack hidden in the room

Despite attempts to mislead the suspect, the Carabinieri located a suspicious backpack in the 20-year-old's bedroom. Inside, they found approximately 800 grams of drugs, already divided into blocks ready for retail sale.

The seized substances included marijuana, hashish, and industrial hemp. Approximately €3 in cash, believed to be the proceeds of drug dealing, was also found in the same container.

Following the investigation, the young man was arrested and transferred to prison, where he remains at the disposal of the judicial authorities awaiting trial.
