TOASTS – Surprised with six guns, pyrotechnics, cocaine, hashish and bulletproof vests: it happened in Brindisi where a 50-year-old and a 41-year-old from Brindisi, both already known to the police, were arrested following a search carried out at a business commercial and related appurtenances, in a district of the capital.
Both are charged with illegal possession of illegal weapons, ammunition, pyrotechnic material, cocaine and hashish.
In particular, the Mobile investigators, with the support of two canine units from the local Border Police Office, carried out a local search of a commercial activity and related appurtenances, located in a district of the Messapian countryside. The search, which lasted several hours and which covered a significant area where there were also numerous animal enclosures, allowed the discovery of numerous illicit material.
Thanks to the nose of the police dogs “Back” and “Africa”, it was possible for the police to find and seize twelve pyrotechnic devices hidden in a dog kennel; six pistols (2 revolvers and 4 semi-automatic) and about one hundred bullets of different calibers hidden in a false bottom of a kitchen cupboard; a bulletproof vest and two two-way radios in the main hall of the establishment, while, in the external area, covered by dense vegetation, approximately 200 grams of cocaine, 100 grams of hashish and a precision scale. As a result of the large amount of material found, attributable to the manager of the commercial activity and an employee, the two arrested were taken to the Via Appia prison at the disposal of the Judicial Authority.
