The Provincial Carabinieri Command of Avellino stepped up monitoring in Mirabella Eclano during the Grande Tirata del Carro and the related Notte Bianca celebrations.
According to local reports, the operation involved 32 personnel, with dynamic patrols and foot patrols, and led to the identification of approximately 60 people. The reports describe it as part of extraordinary territorial-control activity aimed at dangerous driving linked to alcohol abuse and drug use.
Three men from Irpinia, aged between 35 and 60, were found with drugs identified as hashish, cocaine and crack. They were reported to the Prefecture of Avellino as drug users, and two had their driving licences immediately withdrawn.
A 37-year-old man from Grottaminarda was found with an implement for consuming crack, according to the reports. He allegedly refused toxicological testing, was reported while free, and received additional administrative penalties for multiple road-code violations.
A 32-year-old man from Mirabella Eclano had his driving licence withdrawn after being found driving without a seat belt for the second time within two years.
The Prefecture of Avellino had previously described the Carro event as requiring coordination between local authorities and organisers, with safety conditions treated as a central concern. The available reports do not specify the exact date and time range of the individual checks, nor whether further arrests, seizures or incidents occurred beyond those listed.
