Police seize 33 cocaine doses hidden in a car engine in Monte Urano
A 42-year-old man was arrested and released pending trial after the arrest was validated.
Carabinieri seized 33 doses of cocaine hidden in the engine bay of a rental car in Monte Urano.
Officers found about 18 grams of cocaine during a patrol check, with the drugs already divided into 33 “termosaldate” doses and wrapped in cellophane.
The cocaine was fixed to mechanical parts inside the engine compartment using a magnet, but police discovered it during a personal and vehicle search.
The 42-year-old man was arrested in flagrante. The drugs were seized.
Carabinieri also checked his travel documents. He showed an overseas passport that was missing the necessary entry visa.
After the arrest, the man was held at the command’s security rooms while an expedited hearing was expected. The arrest was then validated, and he was released pending the main trial hearing.
