The struggle of the carabinieri to the drug trafficking in Locride does not stop. In recent days, the soldiers of the Compagnia di Locri, flanked by the Squadron Eliportato Cacciatori di Calabria and the 8th helicopter core of Vibo Valentia, arrested two men surprised to cultivate marijuana in an impervious area of the Platì area. During a targeted service, the carabinieri discovered a ground transformed into a real plantation: about one hundred Indian hemp plants, between one and a half meters high and one meter and eighty, in full vegetative development.
The two, who with constancy and daily care devoted themselves to cultivation, were surprised as they stiffened and cleaned the plants, activities that betrayed them before the eyes of the military. Blocked on the spot, they were arrested for illegal production and cultivation of drugs. At the disposal of the judicial authority, they were conducted under house arrest, while the entire plantation was seized.
The operation is part of a strategy of contrasting drugs which, especially in the locride and in the Reggina area, remains one of the priorities of the weapon. A complex territory marked by rooted critical issues, in which the capillary checks of the carabinieri often represent the only concrete argine to prevent and repress phenomena that affect directly on the safety perceived by the population.
Please note that the people involved are to be considered innocent until the final sentence of conviction, in compliance with the rights and guarantees provided for by our system.
