Acerra: 22-year-old arrested with branded drugs and a pistol

In Acerra, Italian Carabinieri arrested a 22-year-old man following a search that uncovered a variety of narcotics and an illegal firearm. The suspect faces charges of drug possession for the purpose of sale and illegal possession of a weapon.

During the operation, authorities seized approximately 740 grams of drugs, specifically 403.5 grams of marijuana, 335.5 grams of hashish, and 0.6 grams of cocaine. Notably, the marijuana was found in distinctive pink packaging labeled 'Rozay,' a name associated with a popular cannabis variety abroad. Other packaging featured graphics of citrus fruits and 50-dollar bills, reflecting a trend toward stylized, branded drug marketing.

In addition to the narcotics, police recovered a 7.65 caliber Browning pistol along with eight rounds of ammunition. The individual has been transferred to prison pending further investigation.
