Civitavecchia (Rome), a 25-year-old Moroccan arrested by the State Police. He had set up a drug dealing base in a thicket

The twenty-five year old Moroccan was arrested in recent days and is now seriously suspected of the crime of possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing.

He was caught by State Police officers from the Civitavecchia Police Station who, during an observation mission in via Braccianese Claudia, had noticed a suspicious coming and going of people inside a thicket. Shortly after, they surprised a man as he stopped his march right at the edge of the green area. Waiting for him, a few steps away, was a young man. It took only a few seconds for the suspicion of a drug dealing to be confirmed: while one was taking a package out of the pouch he was carrying, the other was handing him some banknotes.

At that point the police launched a blitz: while some officers stopped the man, who in the meantime had climbed into the car, others promptly blocked the alleged pusher. Immediately subjected to a personal search, the young man - a twenty-five year old Moroccan - was found in possession of 194 packages of cocaine, 5 grams of hashish and approximately 900 euros in cash. The subsequent inspection of the bivouac where the man was caught in the drug dealing activity, then, allowed to find and seize several precision scales and packaging material.

The story deserves adequate publicity coverage considering the sad phenomenon of the commercialization of the narcotic substance which is also invading our district. The peculiarity, and if we want the novelty, of the story is linked to the methods of dealing that have now changed the points of sale, moving to the woods on the border with the city of Civitavecchia, in territories falling between the Municipalities of Allumiere and Tolfa, opening real supermarkets, assisted by generators, tent cities etc., far from prying eyes, especially from cities increasingly monitored by video surveillance systems.

The continuous complaints from the indicated Municipalities and the problems of public order (attacks and threats to mushroom hunters) and health (food waste and various rubbish produced by drug dealers camped in the woods) receive a firm response from the State through the operation of the Civitavecchia Police Station which has brilliantly combined public order and social security, handing over to the judicial authorities one of the employees of the sales office of the drug supermarket and interrupting the drug dealing activity in the woods, restoring legality and serenity to the communities of Allumiere and Tolfa.

It is reiterated that, within the limits of the law and the protection of the dynamics in progress, the Civitavecchia State Police Station proceeded to arrest the suspect and the Civitavecchia PM, sharing its actions, requested and obtained its validation from the investigating judge of the Civitavecchia Court who ordered the precautionary custody in prison.
