Increased Checks at Ischia Marina Landings Lead to Drug Arrest

Controls at the landings in the tourist ports of Ischia are intensifying. The carabinieri of the island's mobile radio unit have been stationed on the docks, thoroughly screening people arriving from Naples. The operation allowed for the identification among the passengers of a hydrofoil of a 20-year-old from San Vitaliano, already known to the law enforcement. He had two bars of hashish weighing a total of 200 grams: on the label was the image of a gorilla with a golden crown and a cigar. The young man was handcuffed and arrested for drug possession with intent to distribute. He is now in a security room, awaiting trial.
