Carabinieri from the Cagliari Sant'Avendrace station arrested a 22-year-old resident of Elmas on charges of possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
Upon seeing the patrol, the man attempted to flee on foot, attempting to discard a heat-sealed plastic package. The officers' swift reaction allowed them to immediately recover the package—which contained 95 grams of cocaine— and apprehend the fugitive after a brief chase.
At his home, the search revealed, he had precision scales and various drug packaging materials. All the drugs and equipment were seized.
The arrested man was placed under house arrest, pending trial by the judicial authority.
