Little more than children but already armed. It happens in Pollena Trocchia, in the province of Napolidove a 14 year old is found in possession of a knife snap-on 22 centimeters long and a 13 year old with a kitchen cleaver 27 centimeters long. And when the Carabinieri of the Cercola lieutenancy asked why they had those weapons, they replied like this: “We have to defend ourselves, you never know“. It was near a betting shop in Via Massa that the soldiers noticed the children. The minors tried to leave quickly but the police stopped and searched them. Hence the discovery of the weapons, the subsequent denunciation and the entrustment to the parents who were incredulous about what happened.
This is just the latest episode to feature armed kids. A few days ago a 16 year old was found in possession of a butterfly knife while he was in the company of other peers in Corso Umberto I in Torre del Greco while a few nights ago in Volla the police from the local station reported him for drug dealing and possession of weapons a 17 year old with no criminal record. The boy stopped in via De Filippo had 5 grams of hashish and a switchblade “because the area is not very quiet and it is better to go around armed“.
