As part of the activities aimed at combating the dealing of narcotic substances and their consumption in schools by adolescents, the Agrigento Police Headquarters has carried out checks in recent days at a school in Sciacca.
The staff of the Sciacca PS Police Station, assisted by the canine units of the Palermo Police Headquarters, went to an educational institution and checked various environments (classrooms, gyms, bathrooms, corridors) and thanks to the use of the canine units, they were 23 doses of hashish and marijuana were found, already packaged and probably ready for trafficking, abandoned on the ground or hidden in some rooms. Furthermore, two doses of hashish were found and seized inside a student’s backpack. For this reason the young man was reported to the Prefecture of Agrigento as a drug user. The Headmaster, who had hoped for the control, expressed his applause for the important activity which serves as a warning to young people and an invitation to a healthy lifestyle far from the dangers of illicit drug use.
The checks involving all the students of the Institute did not interrupt daily school activities.
The State Police, as every year for the current school year, is engaged in targeted checks in schools in Agrigento and the province and will continue its activity of prevention and repression of drug trafficking.
