The first arrest was made in Via Calasanzio, where officers from the Vicaria-Mercato Police Station caught the 33-year-old while he was exchanging a dose of drugs for money.

The article mentions a drug raid, but it's unclear whether the two arrests are related. I'm happy the police are doing their job, but more information is needed to better understand the situation.
