The Carabinieri carried out a late-night "Alto Impatto" territorial-control operation in Gragnano, with support from the NAS and NIL units.

The operation was coordinated by the Carabinieri of Castellammare di Stabia and focused on traffic controls, illegal activity, food safety and employment regulations.

Checks and fines

Officers identified 293 people and checked 107 vehicles. The checks resulted in 35 road-traffic violations, with fines totalling 19,000 euros.

Arrest and drug reports

A 36-year-old man already under house arrest was transferred to Poggioreale prison under an imprisonment order issued by the Torre Annunziata Prosecutor's Office.

One man was reported after being found with 25 grams of marijuana.

Seven other people were reported to the Prefecture after being found with small quantities of drugs.

Officers also recovered a bag found on via Madonna delle Grazie, near civic number 352. It contained 40 grams of hashish divided into 16 heat-sealed packets, one dose of crack, and 30 grams of marijuana divided into nine packets.

Bar in via Strada suspended

A bar in via Strada was found to have hygiene deficiencies and irregular workers. It received 6,400 euros in administrative penalties and was ordered suspended from 19 October 2026.

The reports do not state how long the suspension will last.

Wider controls in Gragnano

The operation followed other recent Carabinieri activity in the Parco Sofia, via Ogliaro and Sigliano areas of Gragnano.
