Three kilos of marijuana buried in agricultural land. And, above all, a large quantity of explosives and some military-grade anti-personnel mines .

This is the outcome of the major police operation carried out in Silanus , whose citizens woke up this morning in a town literally besieged by the police.

Over 70 Carabinieri from the Nuoro provincial command operated with the assistance of the NEC helicopter from Elmas , which flew over the countryside and the town centre.

Seven house searches were carried out by the Carabinieri alone: a breeder, Pietro Cossu, 42, was arrested in Frades Mastinos for possession of three kilos of marijuana . The owner of the enormous quantity of explosives seized is still unclear.

The operation, the Carabinieri explained in a statement, was launched after a long series of acts of vandalism that shocked the country.

The explosions that, at the end of the "cosas bonas" demonstration, terrified numerous elderly people, damaging several homes and Pinuccio Sciola's trachyte arch. And what happened on Christmas night, when police officers during a check were threateningly surrounded by dozens of people .

During the same operation, officers from the Macomer police station and the Nuoro police headquarters, with the support of the Abbasanta dog units, seized 150 homemade fireworks, 2.5 kilos of marijuana, and a modified blank gun without the red cap. Five charges were filed.
