Carabinieri arrested a 16-year-old in Pozzuoli on suspicion of possessing narcotics for the purpose of dealing, following an intervention at his home.
Investigators recovered and seized a total of 140 grams. According to Il Mattino, a 100-gram block was thrown toward the garden during the operation, while a further 40 grams were found hidden in the teenager's bedroom.
The teenager was taken to the Colli Aminei first-reception centre pending judicial proceedings.
The report states that the boy's parents said they suspected he used drugs but did not expect him to be dealing. The type of narcotic seized was not identified in the acquired source, and the final judicial outcome has not been established.
