He was using the exterior wall of an uninhabited house as a cocaine stash, hiding the doses intended for his clients between the cracks. For this, a 22-year-old from Serramanna was arrested by the Carabinieri. The raid took place during the night, following careful and prolonged surveillance of the area conducted by officers from the Operations and Radiomobile Unit of the Sanluri Company, in close collaboration with the Serrenti and Barumini stations.
The operation is the culmination of a complex information-investigative investigation. For several weeks, Carabinieri investigators had noticed an unusual and constant flow of people , often on e-bikes or scooters, near an uninhabited house in the town center. Hence the decision to deploy targeted surveillance services.
Their hunch proved to be a good one when the Carabinieri noticed a young man arriving on an e-bike. The man approached the fence of the abandoned house and, in a lightning-fast move, pulled a package from a hole in the wall. The officers intervened immediately, stopping him before he could get away. The newly recovered package turned out to contain 15 grams of cocaine.
At that point, the Carabinieri decided to carefully inspect the entire fence, discovering an open-air storage area : inside two more holes drilled into the wall, nine more packages had been cleverly hidden, containing a total of over 435 grams of the same substance . During the house search, they found another 8 grams of marijuana and approximately €415 in cash, believed to be the likely proceeds of the illegal activity.
Once the formal procedures were completed, the young man was arrested and taken to prison in Uta.
