They were carrying switchblades measuring 16 and 27 centimeters long, respectively. They were unable to justify their possession of these weapons. For this reason, two people were reported by the Carabinieri of the Siniscola Company, who conducted an extraordinary patrol of the area over the weekend.
The night's results paint a picture of a comprehensive enforcement operation, essential to curbing petty crime, illegal driving, and dangerous driving behavior. At the end of the operation, 10 people were reported at large (including two minors).
On the drug front, one man was caught selling 0.73 grams of cocaine (and found with an additional 4.05 grams of cocaine and 5.62 grams of hashish), a second was arrested while selling a dose of hashish (with other drugs in tow), and a third was reported for possession of 41.25 grams of hashish. There was also zero tolerance for drunk driving . Breathalyzer tests led to the reporting and suspension of three drivers for driving under the influence. One driver had a blood alcohol level more than four times the limit.
The military is also targeting irregular short-term rentals. In Budoni, inspections of irregular coastal tourism and accommodation businesses led to two owners being reported for failing to report the number of guests staying in their properties. Two others were fined over €1,900 for not only failing to notify the municipality of the start of short-term rental activity, but also for not having a CIN (National Identification Code).
