The joint operation, coordinated by the Citizen Security Department, focused on eight venues in the area to verify compliance with regulations such as capacity limits, access controls, prohibition of entry for minors, and the absence of drug consumption or possession. Consequently, 18 citations were issued for illegal substance possession.
Additionally, Local Police carried out public road checks, stopping 124 vehicles. Twelve of these received sanctions for offenses related to alcohol, narcotics, vehicle inspections (ITV), or failure to wear a seatbelt.
