Heroin cut with laxatives, 20 years old in handcuffs in Alghero

The young man surprised in Alghero in possession of heroin ready to be cut with a common laxative available in pharmacies was arrested and placed under house arrest. The operation was conducted by the carabinieri of the Radiomobile.

The 20-year-old, already known to the police, was subjected to control and reacted so angry that he tried to escape inside the house but was blocked and searched. He had about 6 grams of heroin on him, a modest amount that would have increased exponentially in his weight with the "cut" through the laxatives recovered in the house. The packaging material was also found in the apartment but not for consumption, a circumstance that made the danger contained in the consumption of the substance clear to the eyes of the military.
