In conjunction with the closing of the Hunting season the Provincial Police of Comacchio has intensified controls especially in the pre-park areas in order to contrast the widespread phenomenon of poaching and protect the environmental heritage.
The agents of the Provincial Police carried out the operation also resorting to night stalking aboard one small boat in order to catch offenders red-handed.
In the network of controls two characters surprised by agents have ended up hunting in the pre-park area using electronic acoustic signals prohibited by current legislation; in the same way two other subjects, traveling from Naples and Latina and accompanied in the area of the Gorino valleys by a third subject from Goro.
In particular, the latter two subjects were caught hunting in the pre-park area with rifles without the cartridge limiter in the tank, therefore each rifle was loaded with eight cartridges instead of the three permitted by law.
All those arrested were reported on the loose to answer for the crimes ascertained and administratively sanctioned for over 1.800 euros as well as with suspensions of weeks from hunting in the pre-park area; the weapons with the relative ammunition, the fauna already killed and the illegal electronic recalls were seized at the expense of the reported subjects.
