The Carabinieri of Trentola Ducenta have busted a drug dealing ring, arresting a 33-year-old already known to the police.
The man, caught on board his scooter with a suspicious behavior, attempted to escape but was stopped by the military. During the escape, he got rid of his fanny pack, inside which drugs, cash and motorcycle keys were found.
A subsequent house search uncovered a fully-fledged drug market set up in the home's garage. Precision scales, packaging materials, over 700 grams of hashish and marijuana, and nearly €5.400 in cash were seized.
Inside a safe deposit box and a closet, the Carabinieri found additional quantities of drugs and cash. Furthermore, an address book with names and phone numbers was found in the bedroom, indicating a large clientele. The arrested man was taken to prison.
