Naples, drug dealing in Porta Capuana: young Moroccan pusher arrested

NAPOLI – Proseguono i servizi straordinari disposti dalla Questura per contrastare il traffico di droga nel centro cittadino. Nella serata di ieri gli agenti del Commissariato Vicaria-Mercato hanno arrestato una 23enne di origine marocchina, già nota alle forze dell’ordine, con l’accusa di detenzione illecita di sostanze stupefacenti, resistenza e lesioni a pubblico ufficiale.

The operation took place on Via Carriera Grande, near Porta Capuana, where officers, conducting a patrol, caught the young woman selling drugs to a buyer. Upon seeing the officers, they attempted to stop the operation, but the 23-year-old allegedly resisted, resulting in a scuffle before being apprehended.

During the search, she was found in possession of several packages of crack cocaine and a 20-euro bill believed to be the proceeds of the recent sale. The buyer, taking advantage of the turmoil, managed to disappear. The young woman was arrested.
