The seized drugs weighed about 10 grams, and a judge imposed a ban on staying in Umbria.
Police in Foligno arrested a 20-year-old after finding cocaine hidden in his car’s dashboard area.
Officers stopped the young man for a routine check near Viale Roma on the road leading from the city centre to Sant’Eraclio. During the stop, he showed strong nervousness and even tried to get away from the control.
A search initially found nothing suspicious inside the passenger area. Police then extended checks to the vehicle and discovered twelve wrapped packets hidden under plastic covering in the dashboard frame.
The cocaine seized from the car had a total weight of about 10 grams. The man was arrested on the spot for alleged possession for the purpose of drug dealing.
He was taken to the police offices at the Commissariat. With judicial authorization, he was held in security rooms, and the arrest was later validated by a judge. A precautionary measure was ordered, consisting of a ban on staying in Umbria.
The case is at the stage of court-ordered precautionary measures after the arrest and judicial validation.
