Palermitan arrested in Piazza Garibaldi with 10 kilograms of hashish

During a normal day of checks at the Station Naples Garibaldi, the police have made an important discovery.

During a joint operation between the State Police and a patrol of the Italian Army as part of the “Strade Sicure” operation, an individual emerged who was trying to escape from the turnstiles of the Circumvesuviana.

The suspicious behavior attracted the attention of the officers, who promptly stopped and searched the man. The search revealed the presence of 94 blocks of hashish, for a total weight of 10 kg, in addition to 300 euros in cash.

The 34-year-old from Palermo, already known to the police for previous crimes, was immediately arrested for illegal possession of narcotics.
