A chase ensued through the historic center of Sassari. Yesterday, the State Police arrested a young man on charges of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking after a daring chase through the alleys of the old town.

Flying squad officers had spotted a suspicious person in Piazza Tola who, upon seeing the police and their demand for identification, fled on foot in an attempt to disappear.

A police officer followed the fugitive during a chase that unfolded along Via Pettenadu, Via Rosello, Via Ramai, Via Organari, and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, ending at Vicolo San Carlo, where the officer managed to catch up with the young man and subdue him. The search uncovered two sachets containing 25 grams of heroin hidden in his pants. The arrest made by the police officers was validated by the judicial authorities.
