Naples, checks in Piazza Dante and the historic center. A 14-year-old does not stop at the checkpoint and runs over an army soldier. Weapon seizures continue

He is only 14 years old and has no criminal record, but this night he had an experience that he may never forget for the rest of his life. We are in Piazza Dante and the Carabinieri of the Naples centre company are busy – like every weekend – in an extraordinary service in the nerve centres of the Neapolitan nightlifeIt is the turn of the historic center and the Spanish quarters and, during the checks, the very young motorcyclist on board his scooter crosses the pedestrian area of ​​the famous and historic square a stone's throw from Via Toledo.

An Italian army soldier, engaged in the safe roads service, orders the 14-year-old to stop. The young man does not stop and in an attempt to reverse his course, he falls on top of the corporal.
The carabinieri intervene, fortunately no one gets hurt, and they stop the boy.
The minor was taken to the police station and, before being handed over to his parents, was reported for resisting arrest. To the military, to his mother and father, the 14-year-old will tell that he was afraid of losing his scooter and that is why he had tried to escape. There will be a trial, a lot of money to pay and a stain to erase.

Minors, scooters, Piazza Dante and that idea that is perhaps becoming an unhealthy trend. The 14-year-old is not the only one. In fact, there are 5 kids, fined, caught while walking in the pedestrian area. Another 18 were in the surrounding areas. Of these, 15 were not wearing helmets. Twelve scooters were seized.

The Carabinieri, however, do not forget another social plague, no less dangerous: the spread of weapons among young people.
Widespread searches with 70 young people checked who had to empty their pockets to show their contents.
The four armed boys arrested during the nightlife are between 15 and 20 years old.

The first was in Piazzetta Montesanto with other friends and in the pocket he was hiding a 15-centimeter long switchblade. The other boy was in via Monteoliveto and the blade that the Carabinieri seized from him was 25 centimetres long. Instead, the other two boys who see the possession of weapons as a sort of social elevator among friends were in Via Toledo and Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli. In the pockets of their jackets a 23-inch knife and a steel knuckleduster.
During the operations, the repeat offender parking attendant and some young people reported to the prefecture because they were found in possession of drugs could not be missed.
