Italian Police Target Youth Crime in Lugo with Anti-Drug Checks

Italian police intensified anti-drug and anti-weapon checks in Lugo's bus stations, parks, and commercial areas on Friday, targeting youth crime. Around 50 people, including ten minors, were identified during the operations. The checks, ordered by Ravenna's Questore and coordinated by the local commissariat with a Guardia di Finanza canine unit, focused on areas students frequent daily. Officers monitored the bus terminal, Tondo park, and the railway station, with no significant issues found. Authorities stated the measures aim to create a legal presence, not repress students, protecting them from drug dealers and knife threats. Similar operations will continue across the province in coming weeks.
