The Poggioreale Carabinieri company carried out high-impact checks in the Naples
districts of Poggioreale, San Giovanni a Teduccio and Barra.[1][2][3]The operation
uncovered electricity theft, drugs and businesses operating without the required
authorisations.[1][3]Officers found a drug store inside cellar rooms in the
Taverna del Ferro housing complex at San Giovanni a Teduccio.[1][2][4]
Officers seized 40 blocks of hashish with a total weight of about four kilos.[1][2][4]Officers also seized 20 doses already packaged for sale.[1][2][4]
With technicians from E-Distribuzione, officers found ten illegal connections
used to draw power without regular metering, and five people were reported for
electricity theft.[1]In Barra, officers inspected a funeral business on corso
Bruno Buozzi that was providing funeral services while licensed only to sell
flowers and plants, fining the holder 11,200 euros and ordering the unauthorised
activity to stop.[1]Overall, officers identified 132 people and checked 80
vehicles.[1][2]They issued 22 road-traffic penalties, seized eight vehicles and
referred seven people to the Prefecture for substance use without specifying the
substance.[1]
The 20 already-packaged doses weighed a further 50 grams.[2]Of the 132 people identified, 57 had prior police records.[2]

The article gives no separate date for the checks; 4 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
The hashish weight is reported as approximate, about four kilos, and no separate weight is given for the 20 packaged doses, so the recorded cannabis figure is 4 kg.
No arrests, identities, charges or court outcome are reported for the hashish depot.
The seven people referred to the Prefecture for substance use are not counted as cannabis cases because the article does not specify the substance.
Broader control totals and the 11,200-euro funeral-business penalty are non-cannabis context and are excluded from cannabis figures, which record only the hashish.
Only one accessible account of this event was opened after searching; no second source could confirm or add details.
This account reports eight people denounced around the electricity-theft checks, five in San Giovanni a Teduccio and three in Barra, while the existing report records five people reported for electricity theft, an unresolved discrepancy.
The page labels its only photo as an archive photo, so no new event-specific media can be added from this source.
Adding the stated 4 kilograms and 50 grams would imply 4.05 kg of hashish, but both weights are reported as stated without laboratory precision.
The Zazoom and Puntomagazine.it image uses the same Poggioreale-droga-04.11.2026 file already recorded from Il Meridiano News, so no new distinct event photo is added.
