CATANIA – Two pushers were found in Catania in a drug “convenience store” (cocaine, hashish and marijuana) which would have yielded profits on the illegal market of several thousand euros. The 19-year-old and his underage “partner” were moving around the San Giorgio neighborhood, where they had set up a drug dealing space in a studio apartment on the ground floor in Via Gardenia, equipped with a courtyard accessible via an iron gate, all protected by surveillance cameras. closed circuit, with the obvious aim of protecting oneself from possible raids by the police.
Last evening the carabinieri, taking advantage of 3 young shoppers who were entering the courtyard to stock up, found the door open and managed to sneak in behind them without being noticed. Having broken into the small apartment they immediately found themselves in front of a huge wooden table, with cocaine, marijuana and hashish already divided into doses, as well as precision scales and packaging material. The two young pushers, who were sitting right in front of the counter, jumped from their chairs at the sight of the soldiers, but could do nothing but hand themselves in without attempting to escape. Money and more drugs were later found in the house. At the entrance there was a monitor connected to 4 cameras, which allowed a view of the four corners of the house.
