A local man has been reported at large to the judicial authorities, charged with illegal waste management. The area has been seized and placed under judicial control.
In the entrance hall of the same building, the Carabinieri also found a Lancia Y that, based on checks in police databases, had been reported stolen at the Naples Police Headquarters on February 12.
