The Como State Police arrested a man on the night of November 18th 20 year old Italian, resident in Bellagio (CO) and with mechanical criminal and police records, to possession for the purpose of dealing narcotic substances.

About 2.00, a patrol of the Police Headquarters, engaged in a checkpoint on Via Bellinzona, stopped acar with four young men on board aged 24, 18, 19 and 20, all Italians and residents in the areas around Bellagio.

During the document check, the 20-year-old showed impatience and nervousness, behavior that made the officers suspicious.

Subjected to control, he was found in possession of a package containing cocaine.

Taken to the police station for further investigations, the following emerged: numerous precedents, including complaints for damage, threats and an arrested in flagrante for drug dealing carried out in the past by the Carabinieri of the Bellagio Station.

In light of what was discovered, the police extended the inspection to thethe young man's home, where they were found:

• 130 grams of hashish

• virtually 100g of “WAX”, a narcotic substance increasingly widespread among young people

• 2.100 euros in cash, considered to be the proceeds of drug dealing

Once the activities were completed, the 20-year-old was arrested for possession with intent to deal, informed the Public Prosecutor on duty, who ordered the young man's detention in Police Headquarters safe rooms waiting for immediate trial.
