Pozzuoli – A Friday night marked by safety in Pozzuoli, where the Carabinieri of the local unit conducted a targeted operation to curb illegal behavior during the nightlife. The patrols focused on the waterfront and the city center, illuminated by the blue lights of their patrol cars.
Three people were arrested. A 35-year-old man was arrested for illegal possession of a weapon and possession of ammunition: he was carrying an 8-centimeter knife, and an 8-caliber blank-firing revolver, modified to fire live ammunition, was found in his home.
Two people were involved in drug-related crimes. A 70-year-old man was arrested for possession and distribution of cocaine, with 10 doses hidden in his pants and two vintage muzzle-loading pistols found in his home, which were never reported. A 26-year-old was caught selling 3 grams of marijuana.
There was no shortage of complaints: a 34-year-old man was reported for driving without a license, while a 48-year-old resident of Vomero was reported for driving with a counterfeit license plate, presumably used to evade checks and fines. Additionally, a 54-year-old man was found in possession of a knife during checks.
Two people were reported to the Prefecture for drug use.
The checks also extended to road traffic: out of 62 vehicles inspected, 39 were fined, with total fines exceeding €32. Nine cars were seized for various violations.
The operation confirms the police's commitment to ensuring safety and legality, especially during nightlife hours, when the risk of accidents and illegal behavior is highest.

The evening in Pozzuolli was quiet but the Carabinieri carried out heavy checks, many cars were stopped, 39 fined more than 32 thousand euros but it is not clear how the seizures were determined, there is confusion, I think that safety is important but dialogue is lacking and people speak little
