Two men originally from Gambia, a 30-year-old and a 25-year-old, were arrested by police officers from the Madonna di Campagna police station in Turin for possession of narcotic substances for the purpose of drug dealing.
During an inspection service in Corso Venezia, the police entered an abandoned building where they surprised the two pushers in a tent city. Stopped while trying to escape, they were found to be illegal on national territory. In their pockets they had around 40 grams of crack, 230 euros and a mobile phone.
Again the police, but from the Barriera Nizza police station, arrested a 63-year-old on charges of drug dealing. The man, who according to investigators had just given three doses of cocaine to a customer, was stopped with four heat-sealed doses of cocaine covered in nylon in his pocket, completely similar to those found in the buyer’s possession. During the search of the pusher’s home, another 18 doses containing cocaine were found hidden inside a pouch, ready for sale.
Another narcotic, 72 grams, was seized, also thanks to the canine units, in the cellars, inside a hole made in the screed. Finally, various material useful for drug packaging was seized, such as precision scales and scraps of nylon bags and over 6 thousand euros.
