Zero tolerance against the phenomena of juvenile deviance and drunk driving, these are the objectives of the Paternò carabinieri, who last evening carried out a complex coordinated wide-ranging service in the municipalities of Paternò and Belpasso, with the support of colleagues of the Cio of the 12th Sicily Regiment.
Rain of sanctions
In a first phase, the police focused their attention on preventing violations of the highway code. The checkpoints were located mainly along the arterial road state road 121 and along the access roads to the industrial area of Piano Tavola. During these activities, the breathalyzer was also used in order to ascertain the precise quantity of alcohol in the drivers’ blood. Overall, 64 people were identified, 48 vehicles were checked and 12 fines were issued for a total amount of 11,750 euros.
Illegal carrying of sidearms
Among the undisciplined motorists, a young man from Belpass had his car, a Fiat Panda, confiscated and his license was withdrawn because he was tested with a breathalyzer and found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.55 g/l higher than the legal limit. limits permitted by law.
A 23-year-old from Paterno was also arrested while driving his Volkswagen Golf. Due to his suspicious and hostile attitude, he replied that the check was superfluous and that they were only wasting time, which led the military to investigate further. The search then began, which allowed the recovery of a switchblade with a 9 cm long blade, hidden in the dashboard, and a baseball bat, kept inside the trunk. Obviously the young man immediately changed his tone and his attitude, from reluctant, became milder, still unable to justify the fact that he was walking around armed in that way. For this reason, the police reported him for illegal possession of bladed weapons .
Checks on the premises
From the peripheral road arteries, the complex device then moved to the city centre, where bars and commercial activities were searched. At the end of the checks, the Carabinieri reported to the Prefecture 5 young people, checked in the central Via Vittorio Emanuele di Paternò outside a bar, as they were found in possession of some doses of marijuana, which were seized. The boys were then reported to the Prefecture of Catania as drug users.
