Clusone Carabinieri arrested a 27-year-old man of Moroccan origin in the wooded area of Albino on Tuesday 3 November 2026 during an anti-drug control.[1] Officers noticed the man near a tent hidden among the trees and stopped him immediately after he tried to walk away on seeing them.[1] He was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs for the purpose of dealing.[2]

The search recovered 52 grams of cocaine hidden in a jar placed inside a rubbish bag.[1] The search also recovered 100 grams of hashish kept in a packet of crisps.[1] Two bags with personal effects were found near the man, while a knife and a pair of scissors were found inside the tent.[1] Officers also found 220 euros in cash on the 27-year-old.[1]

A second account confirms the same seizure of cocaine in a jar and hashish in a crisps packet together with the knife, scissors and cash.[2] The control was part of territorial action in the Albino woods aimed at combating drug dealing.[1]
