Extraordinary territorial control operations in the last week in San Teodoro and Budoni, with twenty Carabinieri of the Siniscola Company employed. Attention was focused in particular on alcohol and drug abuse, with numerous checks on the streets and in the main evening tourist meeting places.
Among the various interventions there is a complaint for escape . It concerns a twenty-nine year old, caught unjustifiably outside his home where he is under house arrest. There are two, instead, those reported for unjustified possession of instruments suitable for offending, specifically two switchblades.
The checks were arranged on the main inflow and outflow roads from San Teodoro and Budoni, also with a prolonged roadblock on the SS 131 Dcn in the direction of Olbia that allowed the carabinieri to identify and check, one by one, over 70 drivers. In the circumstance, four reports (and as many licenses withdrawn) for drunk driving, with the drivers caught with a blood alcohol level well above the permitted level , and another 10 fines for blood alcohol level between 0.5 and 0.8 g/l.
In one case, out of a whole group leaving a club by car, no one was fit to drive because they had consumed alcohol within an hour before . The checks will continue throughout the summer, also with the use of saliva kits to detect any previous drug use by drivers.
