The Carabinieri of the Bonorva Company together with those of the Helicopter Squadron Cacciatori di Sardegna arrested two farmers from Ittiri and a couple from Porto Torres , all between 40 and 45 years old, because they were found in possession of a block of cocaine weighing one kilo.
The soldiers were carrying out an inspection at a farm in Ittiri, in the Ena Ortu area, when they saw four people gathered around a table busy sorting the dough : two of them tried to escape with a yellow bag in their hands but, thanks to the reactivity of the Cacciatori di Sardegna, they were immediately surrounded and stopped.
The bag contained a kilo of pure cocaine , but a search also found cutting material, packaging material, precision scales and 5,450 euros in cash, well hidden under a mattress.
The substance, placed on the market, could have brought in up to 100,000 euros for the suspects. All four were arrested and taken to Bancali.
