Benevento: Territory control, 17-year-old arrested
A young man of 17 years old, resident in the Sannio capital, he was arrested by the Carabinieri of the Benevento Company. During an activity of control of the territory, aimed at combating drug trafficking, numerous Carabinieri patrols, both with cars in the colours of the Institute and with unmarked cars, have monitored the central and peripheral areas of the city, most affected by the phenomenon of drug dealing.
During a house search carried out by the military of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit, a 17 year old, nervous about the presence of the Carabinieri, tried to move away, escaping control, at this point the soldiers, suspicious of the young man's attitude, they decided to subject him to a personal search, during which the minor was found in possession of a block of hashish, wrapped in paper similar to that used for chocolate bars, weighing 200 grams, hidden in his underwear.
The investigators' search activities also extended to the boy's home, where further doses of hashish were found in various rooms, as well as a large knife, with a 20 cm blade, used to "cut" the drug to obtain more doses. The 17-year-old was arrested in the act of the crime of possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing and, by order of the magistrate on duty at the Public Prosecutor's Office for Minors in Naples, he was transferred to the First Reception Centre in the Campania capital.
The operation conducted by the military of the Carabinieri Capoluogo Company is part of the activities of combating the phenomenon of drug dealing arranged by the Provincial Command of Benevento and is aimed at ensuring safety and respect for the law in the area.
