The Local Police Agents contacted the owner of the vehicle residing there and, in his presence, an external inspection of the vehicle was undertaken with the Corps’ canine units. During the operations, the dog unit reported traces of narcotic substances on the subject. This made the officers deem it necessary to carry out a personal and local search of his home.
Thanks to the help of dog units, a quantity of cocaine equal to 57 grams was thus found, together with two precision scales.
The subject was arrested for possession with the aim of dealing a narcotic substance, pursuant to art. 73 of Presidential Decree 309 of 1990, and the Public Prosecutor ordered that he be taken to the Sulmona prison pending the hearing to validate the documents of the Judicial Police.
