Police in Ardea arrested a 22-year-old man after finding nearly half a kilo of hashish during checks in the Tor San Lorenzo area. Carabinieri from the Anzio unit spotted the suspect in a car on Via Ardeatina during a patrol aimed at tackling local drug dealing. After stopping the vehicle, they found 30 grams of hashish, a precision electronic scale, packaging material, and 145 euros in cash. Believing the car may have been used as a temporary base for a larger supply, officers extended the search to the man’s home. In his bedroom, they discovered and seized additional 470 grams of hashish, packaged as 10 compact blocks ready to be cut and distributed. The total seized amount came to just under half a kilo. The suspect was taken to the Velletri remand prison, pending action by the judicial authority. The case remains in the preliminary investigation stage. At the time of the arrest, officers accused the man of possession for the purpose of drug dealing.
