He was stopped by the police yesterday morning in Piazza delle Aquile in Pirri, but during the checks he attempted to flee on foot and was stopped by the officers.

The man, a 46-year-old from Cagliari who was travelling on his scooter , was hiding in his private parts 17 cellophane packages containing cocaine , weighing approximately 6 grams, as well as the sum of 190 euros in cash, which was immediately seized as it was believed to be the proceeds of illegal activity.

The police then proceeded to search the 46-year-old's home but with negative results.

The man, already known to the police for drug-related crimes, was placed under house arrest for the alleged crime of possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing.

The facts ascertained by the State Police officers were submitted to the GIP for evaluation, who, in the validation hearing, validated the arrest, without applying any precautionary measures.
