Carabinieri raided a home in Melissano, in the province of Lecce, seizing heroin, cocaine and crack along with cash and weapons. The operation ended with the arrest of a 73-year-old man. Officers found over 380 grams of heroin, 64 grams of cocaine and 71 grams of crack during the search. They also recovered more than 300 grams of mannitol, described as a substance used to cut drugs, plus precision scales and containers with magnets that could be used to hide narcotics. Police also focused on a portion of heroin with an unusual yellowish colour, considered potentially very dangerous because it may have a high concentration of active ingredient. Inside the same home, investigators recovered 10,000 euro in cash. The raid also uncovered weapons, including a diving knife and an animated baton, which were seized. At the end of the checks, Luciano Manni, arrested in the operation, was taken into custody. His 29-year-old niece was reported. Source: Buonasera24.
