At the sight of the Carabinieri he tried to change direction with a sudden maneuver to avoid being checked, but he only aroused the suspicion of the soldiers who immediately ordered him to stop. It happened late yesterday afternoon in Piazza Porta Vetere in Caiazzo, in the province of Caserta, where the Carabinieri of the Ruviano station were carrying out a checkpoint.

The thirty-year-old from Dragoni, in transit on board the car in use, after being stopped and subjected to a personal and vehicle search, was found in possession of a plastic bag containing over 1 kg of marijuana and 3 packages, wrapped in tin foil, containing approximately 300 grams of hashish.

The drug had been hidden behind the driver's seat. The items found were seized. The man, who will have to answer for possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing, was arrested and taken to house arrest, at the disposal of the competent judicial authority.
