The carabinieri of the Reggio Calabria company have returned to operate in the neighborhoods of Archillà and Rione Marconi finding weapons and drugs again. Once an extraordinary control of the territory has been carried out, with the coordinated use of military and specialized personnel, in a targeted and high intensity action.
Drugs and hidden weapons in abandoned car
During the searches, conducted inside the popular building buildings, they were about a kilo of amazing substance seized – hashish, marijuana and cocaine – hidden in the flower beds inside the abandoned buildings and cars and disused condominium spaces. In addition, the military found a short weapon, a rifle and over 250 ammunition of various caliber, well protected by plastic layers and hidden in a disused condominium area, difficult to identify.
The previous discovery of a few months ago
The blitz confirms a trend already emerged in the previous months. In particular, last January, always in Arghillà, the carabinieri discovered an arsenal inside a walled attic. On that occasion several rifles, pistols and exploding material were seized fully functional.
The attention of the parliamentary commission
The severity of the situation has not gone unnoticed at an institutional level. The parliamentary commission of inquiry on the conditions of safety and the state of degradation of the cities and their suburbs recently made an official mission at the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria, also visiting Archillà directly. A visit that allowed parliamentarians to find the conditions of strong marginality and collect useful elements for proposing concrete and structural solutions.
