On 13 November 2026, the Polizia di Stato arrested two young men, aged 18 and 21, in Caivano on suspicion of unlawful possession of cocaine for dealing, according to the Questura di Napoli.
Three off-duty officers, from the Afragola police station and the Porto San Giorgio Highway Police substation, noticed the two men changing vehicles near via Kennedy, according to the police account reported by Positano News.
The officers followed the pair to via Atellana, where the men allegedly tried to discard a package containing 25 cocaine packets. Police stopped them there with the package and €250 in assorted banknotes.
A further five packets of the same substance were reportedly found inside a car left parked on via Kennedy, bringing the reported total to 30 packets.
In a separate Caivano operation, a 23-year-old was arrested after officers recovered about 23 grams of crack in 50 doses and about 14 grams of cocaine in 30 doses, according to a separate local report. That case is distinct from the two-person arrest on via Atellana.
The suspects in the via Kennedy case have not been publicly named. Police have not stated the total weight of the cocaine seized. The two men face suspicion of drug dealing; no final judicial determination has been reported.
