Drugs seized and man arrested in Catania
According to questure.poliziadistato.it, officers from the Mobile Squad of Catania Police Headquarters arrested a 29-year-old resident of Misterbianco who was stopped near via Carrubella whilst riding his scooter. The young man was carrying over 300 grammes of cocaine rock, still to be cut and packaged, which he held close to himself in a waist pouch attached to his belt.
During the check, the 29-year-old voluntarily handed over the transparent plastic bag containing the drug. The police officers, noticing his worried demeanour, decided to extend their inspection to his flat in Misterbianco. The search confirmed their suspicions: in a cupboard in the room used as a laundry room, a bag containing 78 grammes of loose marijuana was found.
Officers from the Mobile Squad also established that an order obliging the man to remain in the municipality of Misterbianco had been issued against him, with an obligation to stay indoors from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., ordered by the Judicial Authority in June. His presence in Catania therefore constituted a violation of the imposed requirements.
The drugs were seized and the 29-year-old was arrested for possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. The duty public prosecutor was informed, and the arrested man was taken to prison awaiting a hearing to validate his arrest.
