Naples Under Scrutiny: Security Forces Clamp Down on Difficult Neighborhoods and Metro Stations

Naples under scrutiny. The military of the Vomero company, together with those of the Campania Regiment, have stationed in the difficult neighborhoods of Piscinola, Chiaiano, and Scampia but the real results came from the controls in the metro. Using metal detectors, the carabinieri searched above all for blades: 3 young people reported. The first detected is 21 years old and was carrying a 63-centimeter iron telescopic baton. Furthermore, a 29-year-old and a 31-year-old were found in possession of a switchblade and brass knuckles, respectively. During the service, a 32-year-old also got into trouble, absent from the check, despite the house arrest measure requiring him not to leave home. Significant also are the data on drugs: 13 people reported to the Prefecture, including a minor. From their pockets were seized doses of hashish, marijuana, and cocaine.
