Ancona, 23 May 2024 – Found with cocaine hidden in socks in the bedroom and 7 thousand euros in cash but also a precision scale and material for packaging the doses: 29-year-old pusher arrested. In the late afternoon of yesterday 22 May, the policemen of the Ancona flying squad arrested a 29-year-old Tunisian citizen, found in possession of 40 grams of cocaine, part of which was divided into doses as well as money and tools for packaging the doses . The arrest was the culmination of an investigative activity conducted by the men of the anti-drug section of the Doric flying squad. The preventive information activity of the investigators, in fact, had revealed that along the Viale della Vittoria there was a Maghrebi citizen who used to deal drugs to young “customers” from Ancona who were waiting for him sitting on a bench on the avenue. Suspicions regarding the arrested person reached their peak, after various observation and shadowing services, with a first personal and then local search, carried out late yesterday afternoon, in the foreigner’s home. At the time of the raid, the investigators blocked the foreigner along Viale della Vittoria, who, with a sudden sprint and pushing the operators, tried to escape and get rid of three doses of cocaine in heat-sealed cellophane that he held in the pockets of trousers, throwing them on the ground. The operators managed with difficulty to immobilize the man even with the help of the Flying Squad personnel who promptly intervened to help and recover the three doses of narcotic thrown away. The subsequent local search carried out inside the nearby house made it possible to find inside the bedroom wardrobe, hidden inside a sock, 21 heat-sealed transparent cellophane wrappers – ready for dealing – containing cocaine for a total of over 16 grams and a larger fragment of cocaine, always wrapped in cellophane, containing over 22 grams of pure cocaine. An electronic scale, scissors and other material used for packaging doses of the narcotic were found in another drawer of the wardrobe. The continuation of the search activity then made it possible to find, again in the bedroom wardrobe and hidden in another sock, the total sum in cash of various denominations equal to almost 7 thousand euros, believed to be the proceeds of the cocaine dealing activity and for this reason it was seized by the officers together with the cocaine. The unequivocal evidence led to the arrest of the man in flagrante delicto, who, on the orders of the deputy public prosecutor on duty, was placed under house arrest at the disposal of the judicial authorities, awaiting the hearing. validation.
