In the afternoon, a UPGSP patrol intervened following a report of a person attempting to force open the doors of some parked cars.
The operators, after having viewed the video surveillance images of the Municipality of Genoa, identified the man, a 36-year-old Algerian with no fixed abode and an illegal immigrant, who was walking along Via Cornigliano in an area known for drug dealing activities, while he was talking to a young man and taking something out of his pocket. They then intervened immediately, catching them in the act and subjecting them to a personal search. The 36-year-old, found in possession of half a block of hashish, a knife and a precision scale, was arrested for drug dealing. The direct trial this morning.

Following a search, they were found to be in possession of some grams of hashish and were therefore fined for personal use of narcotic substances. Furthermore, one of the two was found to be in possession of a stolen goods case.
Shortly after, in via Cornigliano, two crews from the UPGSP and the Central Police Station arrested a 21-year-old Moroccan for attempted robbery.
