The Carabinieri of the provincial command of Naples have intensified controls on the city's territory. Bagnoli, Fuorigrotta, Posillipo, Vomero, Stella, and Scampia are the neighborhoods where the action of the military from the respective companies has been concentrated. The operation, targeted and widespread, is part of a much larger context of prevention and repression with the dual objective of ensuring safety and well-being for the citizens.

Dozens of patrols and over 100 military personnel deployed in the city. The final balance reports 17 reports of offenses, 1 arrest, 15 young people reported to the Prefecture for drug possession, almost 40 road traffic offenses, and two significant seizures. It starts from via Piero Gobetti, a few meters from the infamous "sails" and the new headquarters of the University Federico II.

Close to number 121, Carabinieri and municipal police seized a structure of about 3 square meters, presumably intended as a votive chapel. Completely illegal, it was already equipped with electrical power. And cutting through Ciro Esposito park, heading towards via Ghilseri, the military found 16 doses of cobret, 50 of heroin, 35 of cocaine, and 15 of crack. They were hidden in a utility meter compartment of one of the public housing lots and ready to be sold. The drugs did not have time to hit the market; they were seized. In the context of the northern outskirts of the capital and the jurisdiction of the Naples Stella Company, 3 people were reported: an illegal parking attendant, a 22-year-old who had escaped house arrest, and a 32-year-old stopped driving a car stolen in Spain.

Equally effective were the Carabinieri of the Bagnoli company, within whose area of competence fall the neighborhoods of the western outskirts of the city. A 34-year-old already known to the law enforcement agencies was arrested. He will have to answer for aggravated theft because he was caught in the passenger compartment of a parked car removing the stereo. It happened in Posillipo and the 34-year-old was detained in a security room pending trial. Evasion was also a crime recorded in this part of the city. A 59-year-old was found on the street, despite the house arrest measure requiring her not to leave the four walls of her home. 6 illegal parking attendants were reported to the judicial authority, concentrated around the nightlife venues of Coroglio. 4 drug users were administratively sanctioned and reported to the Prefecture. They are all very young.

Controls also along the Vomero hill. The Carabinieri of the Vomero company patrolled the main squares and streets of the neighborhood. A 19-year-old was found in possession of a knife. The switchblade was hooked on the inside of his pants and was located thanks to the metal detector provided. Evasion was also charged to a 26-year-old from Naples. He too was found on the street without authorization. Illegal parking attendants also on the hill: 5 were reported. In this part of the city, the rates for parking are very high. From 5 euros for a scooter, from 5 to 10 to benefit from the "surveillance" by illegal attendants. 11 young people were found with drugs in their pockets, 2 are minors. The controls will also continue in the coming hours.
