The checks carried out in the area, which had already been the subject of the attention of the police in recent days, then led to the detection of some administrative irregularities with consequent fines amounting, in total, to around 1700 euros. Not only that, a part reserved for gastronomy of a bar located in Vita was closed. Other irregularities involving fines ranging from 3 thousand to 24 thousand euros have also been reported.
Other small quantities of hashish were also found in the area, which had been conveniently hidden, but it was not possible to identify who brought them to via Anzani. The police officers were supported during the operations by the Carabinieri labor protection unit, by the canine units of the financial police and by Ats.
