Nine kilos of marijuana hidden between the kitchen and the sheepfold storage room, a dose of cocaine, precision scales and a stolen television : this is what the Carabinieri discovered during a search in a rural area of Sanluri. A 43-year-old farmer ended up in handcuffs, arrested red-handed for possession for the purpose of dealing and receiving stolen goods.
The operation began this morning at dawn as part of a service coordinated by the Carabinieri company of Sanluri to combat drug trafficking in the countryside of Medio Campidano. Also participating were the military of the Samatzai and Villanovafranca Stations, the Squadrone Eliportato Cacciatori di Sardegna and the canine units of the Carabinieri Nucleus of Cagliari.
During the raid, the military combed through the entire property of the breeder , discovering almost nine kilograms of marijuana already dried and ready for distribution, hidden in jute bags. Other doses had been hidden in the kitchen furniture. Also seized were two scales, an industrial scale with traces of drugs, a dose of cocaine and a flat-screen television with a scratched serial number, found to have been stolen in 2024 right in Sanluri.
The television has already been identified by its rightful owner and will be returned. The man, by order of the Judicial Authority, was transferred to the prison of Uta. Investigations continue to clarify the network of supply of the drug and identify any accomplices.
