Scenes from action films in the historic center of Sassari . «We saw – say the residents – the police stop non-EU citizens in via San Donato». Around 5.15pm, the police raided Sassari Vecchia against three Nigerians arrested for being in possession of drugs.

One was handcuffed with the help of several officers as he attempted to resist. "Another fled - other residents report - towards Largo Monache Cappuccine but the police locked him in the alley".

A sort of pincer maneuver carried out by plainclothes and uniformed officers against drug dealers, one of whom was found in possession of 43 doses presumably of heroin and cocaine. When the police carried out the search, they stripped completely.

The three were then taken away in the official vehicles to the military command which, in this period, is implementing a reinforced service.

"The important thing – comment the residents – is that they made their presence felt."
