Trapani, drug bunker dismantled. Arrests and reports

The Carabinieri of the Trapani Company arrested a 61-year-old and two minors from Trapani, dismantling the drug dealing bunker on Via Rodolico in the Fontanelle neighborhood.

During a service aimed at combating drug trafficking, which involved the use of 50 military personnel from the Carabinieri and the assistance of Fire Brigade personnel, an illegally occupied ground floor apartment was identified, used as a real 24-hour drug supermarketThe house, protected by iron grates, armoured doors and a video surveillance system, was set up in such a way as to allow the sale of the narcotic through slits in the armour of the fort, through which the doses were sold to the buyers and the relative price was paid.

Once inside, in addition to two young men aged 16 and 17, on duty at that time to protect the drug dealing house, there was an adult pitbull and a few months old "in training". The scenario was the one imagined by the Carabinieri, in fact doses of hashish ready for sale were found, material for the production and packaging of crack, cash for over 6 thousand euros, as well as the handwritten accounting of the sales and the relative price list. Fireworks were also found inside another adjacent building, presumably used to remotely signal the availability of the drug.

The fortified house was liberated and seized and the competent Judicial Authority validated the arrests and ordered: for the 61-year-old, house arrest; for the minors, placement in a community for one and obligation to remain at home for the other.

Following the investigation, three other people were reported for possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing and were searched in another house in the same neighborhood where 3 blocks of hashish with a total weight of approximately 300 grams, precision scales and packaging material were seized.
