A 55-year-old from Burgos was arrested by the Padru carabinieri for possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing. The military, engaged in a checkpoint, became suspicious when a car, at the sight of the patrol, made an abrupt maneuver to evade the halt. Then they pursued him: the race ended in a dead end street.

The man behind the wheel tried to get rid of a white box with the words “pane carasau” by throwing it into the bushes. In the trunk of the car the carabinieri found an identical box containing five bags containing marijuana buds ready for sale weighing about one kilo each. In the box thrown into the vegetation, another amazing for a total of 11 kilos of marijuana.

The 55-year-old was accompanied to the Sassari prison of Bancali.

The men of the Heliported Hunters of Sardinia Squadron also took part in the operation.
