A large operation targeting sites used for drug dealing was carried out across seven provinces in Italy’s Lombardy region.

The Provincial Command of the Carabinieri in Milan said the operation took place simultaneously in the provinces of Milan, Bergamo, Monza Brianza, Varese, Como, Lecco and Pavia.

The operation was coordinated and conducted with pressure applied from several directions at once. As a result, 17 temporary drug-dealing sites were dismantled.
