Milano, were not wearing a seat belt and for this reason they were stopped by a patrol from the Public Transport Protection Unit of the local police of Milano, who found 48 kilos of marijuana and hashish inside a van in which 38-year-old MM and 30,8-year-old MC were travelling, both arrested.

It happened yesterday morning, around 11,30 in viale Renato Serra, during a patrol of lines 90 and 91. At number 57, between the bus lane and the regular traffic lane, the officers of the local police noticed that the two people on board a white Citroën Jumper van, which later turned out to be rented, were not wearing their seat belts.

The van was therefore stopped for a traffic police check and the two men, both Italian, immediately appeared very agitated. Furthermore, while the driver (MM) immediately showed his driving license, the passenger (MC) was unable to provide any identity document at the time.

While checking the driver's document and the passenger's personal details, both of which were later found to have specific precedents, the agents of the Public Transport Protection Unit, who had approached the windows of the vehicle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the trunk and therefore asked how much they were carrying.

When MM refused to answer, the local police officers therefore carried out an inspection of the loading compartment, opening the side door of the van, and inside they found an open bag, from which a cellophane bag with a large amount of money was sticking out. amount of marijuana. The search therefore revealed 6 kilos of marijuana (divided into six bags) and 24,8 kilos of hashish (packaged in 150 blocks of 100 grams and 49 spheres of approximately 200 grams).

The subsequent house searches, carried out by agents of the Narcotics Control Unit of the local police, gave negative results. While the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the substances found in the van revealed a very high percentage of THC (18%) for hashish and 8% for marijuana.
