The drugs were hidden inside a fake spray can modified with a screw-on bottom to conceal its contents.

An ingenious ploy that did not escape the attention of the State Police officers, who last weekend arrested a local man in flagrante delicto for possession of narcotics with the intent to sell.

Officers from the Siniscola Police Station, carrying out operations organized by the Police Commissioner, noticed the young man, already known to law enforcement for specific criminal offenses, wandering suspiciously through the streets of the town center. He was stopped for a check and subjected to a personal search, which was later extended to his home.

In the apartment, officers found approximately 75 grams of cocaine, carefully concealed in the modified canister. They also seized a precision scale, packaging material, and a significant quantity of cutting agent, believed to be evidence of drug dealing.

After completing the formalities, he was arrested on charges of illegal possession and drug dealing and taken to prison.
