The Carabinieri of the Castellammare di Stabia Company are continuing their ongoing drug enforcement operations throughout the Sorrento peninsula. In Santa Maria La Carità, officers arrested a 23-year-old man with no criminal record, caught in possession of narcotics intended for distribution.

The suspect was found in the town's main square with other youths. A personal search found him with several ready-to-sell quantities of hashish and marijuana. The results of the search prompted the Carabinieri to extend their search to the 23-year-old's home. Inside the apartment, they seized additional quantities of drugs weighing approximately 200 grams, as well as a marijuana plant the young man had grown at home.

An "organic" choice that ironically recalls the trendy business model: from the producer directly to the consumer, zero-mile quality. The young man was arrested for possession of narcotics with intent to sell and taken to prison for judicial review.
