Palermo: territorial control in Termini Imerese and the hinterland, two arrests and two reports.
The Carabinieri of the Territorial Department of Termini Imerese together with the military of the Operational Intervention Company of the 12th Carabinieri Regiment of Sicily, of the Sicilian Helicopter Hunter Squadron and of the Palermo Villagrazia Dog Unit, have carried out an intense activity aimed at combating widespread illegality.
In Termini Imerese, the Carabinieri of the Operational Section, from the Sicilian Helicopter Squadron and from the Palermo Villagrazia Dog Unit, arrested a 36-year-old man from Termini Imerese for the crime of possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing.
The infallible nose of the dog "Nadia" allowed the military to find inside the house used by the suspect, three blocks of hashish with a total weight of 340 grams, cleverly hidden inside a shoe box located inside a narrow warehouse. In addition to the drugs, a precision scale and various cutting and packaging material were found.
During the operations, the sum of 1.700 euros in small denominations was also found, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity.
By order of the Judicial Authority, the suspect was placed under house arrest pending the validation judgment.
The military personnel of the Operational Intervention Company, in the town center of Termitana, engaged in the prevention of crimes against property and persons, arrested a 28-year-old and reported a 42-year-old, both locals, for resisting and threatening a public official.
From the very beginning, the youngest, subjected to control, showed his impatience and within a few moments, he first threatened the officers and physically attacked the closest soldier with the intent of suffocating him, failing only due to the prompt reaction of the other soldiers present.
During the frantic phases of the arrest, the 42-year-old arrived to lend a helping hand to the man, and he complained animatedly about the actions of the military, presumably with the intent of creating a diversion that could be used by the young man to escape, but he was moved away by the Carabinieri who, once again, were threatened.
The Judge for Preliminary Investigations of the Court of Termini Imerese, validated the arrest by ordering the precautionary measure of the obligation to report to the judicial police.
The Carabinieri of the Cerda Station, instead, stopped a vehicle with two men on board, both from a nearby municipality, who showed nervousness during the activity.
The search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a 9 cm long switchblade knife inside the glove compartment of the car, which, before the check, had been cleverly hidden by the 37 year old passenger who, for this reason, was reported at liberty to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Termini Imerese, for illegal possession of instruments capable of causing harm.
All the narcotic substances seized during the activities of the Carabinieri departments were sent to the Narcotics Analysis Laboratory of the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri of Palermo, for qualitative and quantitative analyses.
