Secondigliano, under house arrest but armed at home: arrested

He was already under house arrest. However, he had a gun at home. Officers from the Secondigliano station arrested a 21-year-old for illegal possession of a weapon. The man was taken to prison, awaiting trial.

Home inspection

The arrest was made during a search of the residence. Officers found a Beretta and five bullets. The weapon was seized and will be subjected to ballistic tests to determine whether it was used in crimes or other offenses.

Tensions in the northern neighborhoods

The incident is part of a climate that investigators describe as increasingly tense in recent months in the northern neighborhoods of Naples: Secondigliano, Scampia, Miano, Piscinola, and Chiaiano. Ambushes, injuries, stabbings, and a series of drive-by shootings have marked the area. Investigators are closely watching the clash between the clans and the reorganization of the criminal organizations for control of drug dealing hubs and illicit businesses.

Tighter controls

Law enforcement has intensified patrols and checks in neighborhoods considered at risk. The arrest in Secondigliano is one result of this pressure: not a high-profile raid, but a targeted check on those already under precautionary measures and, according to the prosecution, still carrying a weapon.
