A 25-year-old man and his 27-year-old partner were caught by the Carabinieri in Alberi, Meta di Sorrento , in the car in which they were travelling with their 5-year-old daughter, with two plastic bags containing 50 grams of marijuana and 170 euros.
They are both locals and have no criminal record. We are in the Alberi area and the soldiers stop a car that at first glance seems above suspicion. A small family: two boys with their 5-year-old daughter. Usually in these cases we limit ourselves to a routine check with the verification of driving documents but the attitude of the two arouses more than a suspicion.
The Carabinieri – with the delicacy that has always distinguished them given that they are also in the presence of a child – proceed to check the car.
The two were found in possession of two plastic bags containing 50 grams of marijuana. The sum of 170 euros was also seized, considered to be the proceeds of the crime. The search was moved to the home and there the officers found, in addition to a precision scale, another 25 grams of the same substance. The drugs were in the kitchen cupboard, stored in some jars.
The Municipality's social services were also alerted
Subsequent investigations revealed that the woman was also a recipient of citizen's income and her position will be reported to the competent offices.
The two are now under house arrest awaiting trial, the Carabinieri have also alerted the social services of the Municipality.
