Unusual Nervousness Leads to Drug Discovery in House Arrest Case

An unusual nervousness displayed by a 41-year-old man under house arrest prompted the Carabinieri of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere station, who had checked his home to verify compliance with the restrictive measure, to carry out a personal and home search. The intuition was right. In fact, during the search, the military of the Arma, inside a ceramic pot containing fake flowers placed on the terrace of the house, found and seized hashish weighing a total of 98 grams; a narcotic substance of the cocaine type weighing a total of 20 grams, as well as a digital precision scale and packaging material. The man, originally from lower Lazio and domiciled in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, where he was under house arrest with electronic bracelet control, was arrested and associated with the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison at the disposal of the judicial authority.
