In a sweeping national operation, Italian police have intensified efforts to combat youth crime and street bullying.

Coordinated by the Servizio Centrale Operativo, the operation involved 800 officers across major cities like Milan and Monza.

In Milan, 18 adults and one minor were arrested, with 20 others reported, following extensive searches that uncovered drugs, weapons, and stolen goods.

Meanwhile, in Monza, 455 individuals were checked, leading to several preventive measures against young offenders.

The crackdown aims to address rising juvenile delinquency, with authorities focusing on drug-related crimes and illegal weapon possession.

This initiative highlights the growing concern over youth involvement in criminal activities and the need for stringent law enforcement measures.
