The Cagliari State Police arrested a 55-year-old man in flagrante delicto. The charge he will have to defend himself from is that of possession for the purpose of dealing a narcotic substance.
The handcuffs were taken after a surprise raid by investigators from the Hawks Section of the Flying Squad in an apartment located in the Monte Urpinu area.
Inside the house used by the man, the officers found approximately 650 grams of hashish, of which 50 were already packaged in a "block" and the remainder were being processed.
Also seized were a scale, a blender, an electric sieve and a sophisticated hydraulic press, material used to package the doses to be sold, and also 300 euros in cash, probable proceeds from the drug dealing activity.
The man is now under house arrest, awaiting immediate trial.
