A 69-year-old homeless man, domiciled in Carbonia, was arrested by the carabinieri for illegal possession of a clandestine weapon and related ammunition.
The military stopped him yesterday morning at a checkpoint: he was driving a Renault Megane and was subjected to a search. In his possession was found a drum pistol, of the free-sale scacciacani type, but modified in the hammer and case, so as to be suitable for firing, also loaded with 5 32 caliber cartridges.
In the car he still had 46 cartridges of the same caliber.
The man was taken to the Uta prison.
