Over 50 grams of cocaine and other various materials were seized from a 52-year-old resident in the countryside of Villacidro who was arrested for detention for the purpose of drug dealing. The carabinieri had been keeping an eye on him for some time and yesterday the search began together with colleagues from the "Cacciatori di Sardegna" helicopter squadron and an anti-drug canine unit in the same department.

The man, who is also a recipient of citizenship income - whose derogation will be proposed - despite being subjected to the regime of probationary assignment to social services, was found in possession of 44 heat-sealed casings containing a total of 52.81 grams of cocaine, a precision slingbar, a mobile phone, a "camera trap" used to check for any unwanted presences, explicit notes on his activity and various material attributable to the drug dealing activity.

The camera trap was a very important element having recorded over 150 nocturnal visits by "customers" who went to the 52-year-old's home to buy drugs.

As part of the same operation, the brother of the arrested, a 48-year-old, was reported to the prefecture of Cagliari as a drug user: he had with him a bag with 22 grams of marijuana, which he declared were intended for his personal use.
