Frattamaggiore – A routine check was all it took to uncover what was hidden in the fanny pack. On Wednesday afternoon, officers from the Frattamaggiore Police Station, engaged in territorial control, stopped a scooter on Via Roma with two people on board. The passenger, an 18-year-old woman and resident of Frattamaggiore, was the one who ended up in trouble.
Drugs, blade, and cash: the contents of the fanny pack
The search left no room for doubt: inside the young woman's fanny pack, the police found 19 sachets of hashish weighing a total of approximately 43 grams, a switchblade with an 8-centimeter blade, and €26 in cash, believed to be the proceeds of drug dealing.
Arrested for drug dealing and illegal possession of weapons
In light of the findings, the 18-year-old was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking and illegal possession of weapons. The case will now proceed to the competent judicial authorities.
Strange news, but truth be told: the police's actions may seem justified, but they also leave unanswered questions. Why did the girl have that pouch, and how did it get to this situation? I hope the prosecution clarifies the matter and that the judges evaluate the facts carefully and without haste.
