Lamezia Terme – The Carabinieri Company of Lamezia Terme, with the support of the NIL of Catanzaro throughout the area of competence, with particular reference to the nightlife areas of Nicastro, has implemented a wide-ranging coordinated service aimed at combating widespread crime and, also in light of the numerous road accidents that have affected the Lamezo area, compliance with the rules of the Highway Code as well as the control of commercial activities to combat the phenomenon of “irregular work”.
The plan, which led to the use of around 30 carabinieri, involved the execution of a dense series of checks on all areas of the Lamezzo district. Patrols on foot, on car radios and in civilian clothes monitored the areas affected by the greatest concentration of people. More than 100 people, 500 vehicles and 8 businesses were checked. The checks also concerned compliance with the regulations regarding public entertainment and the illicit occupation of public land. The soldiers of the Lamezia Terme Main Station, assisted by Arpacal technical personnel, found that 4 venues not only held public shows without the required authorization, but the sound emission was higher than the established limits, effectively disturbing people’s rest resident in nearby homes. A further negative fact concerns “illegal work”: two catering activities were suspended as employees were employed without the required employment contract with the simultaneous raising of administrative sanctions for a total of 19,500 euros. Furthermore, during the checks, a young man was reported for illegal possession of weapons as, following a personal and vehicular search, he was found in possession of a 7.65 caliber pistol magazine, containing 10 cartridges of the same caliber and 5 people were reported to the Prefecture of Catanzaro pursuant to art. 75 of Presidential Decree 309/90 as they were found in possession of narcotic substances for personal use: overall, during the checkpoints, the military seized 10 grams of Marijuana and 5 grams of cocaine.
The filter and sieve action implemented by the various departments of the Lametina Company has allowed the achievement of a further objective: the analysis of transit flows in the territory. A further study to have an even clearer picture of the presences in the Lamezo area in order to implement the most appropriate measures to prevent and combat widespread crime. All in a relationship of interconnection and collaboration between citizens and the Carabinieri.
