Italian police seize nearly 1 kg of hashish in arrests in Milan, Rome and Caserta

Police in several Italian regions arrested young suspects involved in drug trafficking. In Rozzano, near Milan, officers seized about 130 g of hashish and €200 in cash from a man previously linked to a dramatic police chase. In Ostia, south of Rome, a 16‑year‑old Egyptian was caught on the station steps with roughly 35 g of hashish, a digital scale and over €200 in cash. In Casaluce, near Caserta, a car stop led to the discovery of two small doses and, after a home search, a seizure of about 890 g of hashish and packaging equipment; the suspect was taken to a prison facility. Separately, in the Valle Sabbia area, two men were arrested in Barghe after months of surveillance, found in possession of cocaine and linked to distribution across several nearby towns. All arrests were followed by judicial procedures and placement of the suspects in custody.
