The drugs found in the undergrowth in Latina during the operation called Alto Impatto were ready for trafficking. It seemed like a safe hiding place. The agents of the Flying Squad and the Lazio Crime Prevention Department directed by the Police Commissioner Fausto Vinci carried out a series of checks in one of the most critical areas in terms of drug dealing and predatory crimes. The drug seizure also took place a short distance from the bus station in via Romagnoli. The discovery is the result of a targeted service set up to combat crimes; among the undergrowth, investigators found two wrappers of hashish. According to initial findings, the drugs were for the Pontine market and then two long-bladed knives seized by the officers were also found. During the same operation, some foreign citizens were identified. The final toll is 128 people identified, 12 of whom are foreigners, and 80 vehicles were checked as part of this service. As the Police Headquarters announced in a note, the soldiers of the provincial commands of the Guardia di Finanza and the Carabinieri also operated together with the staff of the Labor Inspectorate who subjected two commercial activities that were not perfectly in order to the inspection. A 75-year-old owner of a restaurant was also reported for lack of health surveillance and failure to train workers with the related suspension of his business activity due to the presence of two illegal workers. «The particular attention of the State Police in the neighborhood and the massive presence of all the police forces – the Latina Police Headquarters says in a note – will continue over the next few weeks with extraordinary control services of the territory which will be more intensified, on impulse of the Police Commissioner also in view of the approaching summer season which brings a greater presence of people in the city with the consequent need to ensure a lasting deterrent effect”. Finally, as regards road traffic, 67 people and 27 vehicles were checked and administrative fines were issued for an amount equal to 20 thousand euros. On the road accident front, yesterday morning the Local Police personnel intervened a short distance from the church of Santa Maria Goretti in Viale XXI April for an elderly woman involved in an accident. The woman was hit by a car while crossing the road. It’s not serious.
