Arrest for drug possession

According to questure.poliziadistato.it, the State Police in Catania arrested a 30-year-old for possession of a narcotic substance with intent to distribute. The man had rented a garage to hide drugs and the material necessary for preparing doses.

During a patrol operation on via Pietra dell'Ova, the drug detection dogs Briska, Rex and Ares signalled insistently the presence of suspicious substances at a storage unit. The owner presented himself shortly after and opened the garage, which was immediately searched.

In the premises, 214 grammes of hashish and 96 grammes of cannabis were recovered, along with material for weighing and preparing packages, including scissors still stained with narcotics. The drugs were seized.

The 30-year-old was taken to the holding cells of the Police Headquarters pending trial for immediate judgement. After the arrest was validated, the judge imposed an obligation to report to the judicial police authorities in the territory.
