A 39-year-old man was arrested by the police in Aci Catena, in the province of Catania, for having an unsuspecting courier deliver to his home a wooden crate containing almost 12 kilograms of marijuana divided into 10 heat-sealed bags.

The soldiers, who were keeping the man's house under surveillance after learning that he was receiving quantities of drugs thanks to deliveries made by unaware express courier companies, intervened when a van arrived at his house in Via della Consolazione. a courier who was about to make a new delivery to the man's partner, a 44-year-old woman.

At that moment the 39-year-old, who was about to return home by car, attempted to escape but was blocked. During a search of his home, the police also found a backpack containing 124 grams of cocaine, a precision scale and a mobile phone with two SIM cards.

In another home used by the 39-year-old, another backpack was found containing approximately 500 grams of marijuana, a wrapper with 7 grams of hashish and two doses of crack.

And, again, in the man's car the military found cocaine, hashish and another precision scale.
