Drug dealing: another arrest by the local police in Albenga. A 52-year-old Maghrebi who was involved in a drug dealing circuit with dozens of customers ended up in handcuffs. Drugs, cell phones and money were seized in an operation that led to the complaint of a second alleged drug dealer, a 58-year-old man.
They told the local police command: “Accepting the invitation to the greater presence on the territory of men in uniform during all holidays and in more frequented places, agents were deployed, both in civilian clothes and on extra service in uniform, in order to to allow the peaceful passing of the holidays by all citizens with eyes that are always attentive to any criminal activity and unnoticed by the containment measures of the Covid contagion. The presence of the Local Police on three shifts (the only municipality in the province) allows constant surveillance of the municipal area. “
The councilor for safety Mauro Vannucci adds: “This umpteenth operation carried out by the Local Police and in particular by the Urban Security Unit, concludes a year of intense activity aimed at repressing the shop, this in the face of those who, instead, undertake to pass the message of inefficiency of the Local Police among the citizens trying to cast shadows on the activity carried out by our agents “.
Concludes the mayor Riccardo Tomatis: “The umpteenth operation against drug dealing that the Albenga Local Police successfully carries out, demonstrating their constant presence in the territory, the knowledge of it and of the people who frequent it. I think it is very important to continue to work both from a repressive and preventive point of view through awareness-raising work on these issues among young and very young people. Children must be informed and they must be offered alternatives (sports, culture and activities) that can involve them in a positive way to ensure that they do not fall into the dangerous vicious circle of drugs and addictions “.
