Rome: 54-year-old detained with 13 kg of hashish, drugs held in refrigerated warehouse
State Police have arrested a 54-year-old man in Rome in quasi-flagrante delicto, seizing over 13 kilogrammes of hashish, according to reporting by Google News IT — Crime (it).
The operation began from a theft carried out "in disguise" — with the suspect allegedly acting while disguised — and concluded with the discovery of the narcotic stored in a cold storage facility, a temperature-controlled warehouse used to preserve drugs.
Officers from the Rome Questura executed the detention at the conclusion of an operation that allowed them to stop the suspect before he could dispose of the material. The seized quantity — exceeding 13 kg — is believed to be intended for distribution.
The 54-year-old was arrested in quasi-flagrante status, a legal formula that allows detention even when the criminal act is not caught in the immediate moment but immediately afterwards. The seizure was formalised by the Rome Questura, which has jurisdiction over the territory.
