20 g of marijuana seized as Bolzano police report 21-year-old over hashish
Police in Bolzano seized 20 grams of marijuana ready for sale from persons unknown during two days of high-impact checks ordered by the city's police chief, and reported a 21-year-old Tunisian man over a dose of hashish. The same checks ended in one arrest and seven people reported, including two men who resisted officers after a street fight.
Police in Bolzano reported a 21-year-old Tunisian man with a police record after
finding him with a dose of hashish during checks at Berloffa Park.[1][2][3][4][5]The same
checks found a bag holding 20 grams of marijuana, ready to be sold, which
officers seized from persons unknown, according to the police.[1][2][3][4][5]A
19-year-old Tunisian asylum seeker was arrested and taken to the Bolzano prison
on charges of resisting a public official and assaulting a police officer.[1][2][4][5]Two 29-year-old Moroccan men were reported at liberty on charges of resisting a
public official after the fight in the old town.[1][2][4][5]The officer who was
punched needed treatment expected to last seven days.[6][2][4][5]
Bolzano police chief Giuseppe Ferrari ordered the checks to increase the visible
presence of officers in sensitive districts and to act against crime.[6]State
police patrols were joined by crime-prevention units, the Carabinieri, the
finance police with a drug-sniffing dog unit and the municipal police.[6][5]Officers checked people and vehicles and carried out inspections at businesses,
and on 5 November alone they identified 214 people and checked 40 vehicles.[1]
Officers of the Brenner police station checked a 20-year-old Tunisian man with prior convictions on an international train entering Italy and the police chief ordered his expulsion to the CPR centre in Rome.[3]

The date of the checks comes from the police statement, which says officers acted over the last two days and gives the total for 'yesterday'; 5 November 2026 is used as the incident date, the day before the statement of 6 November.
No weight is given for the dose of hashish found on the 21-year-old, so it is not included in the cannabis weight.
The owner of the 20 grams of marijuana was not identified, so no person is counted for that seizure.
It is not stated whether the 21-year-old with the hashish is among the seven people reported in the Südtirol News account.
No court outcome was reported for the arrested 19-year-old or for the reported men; the case was at the investigation stage.
The German edition is the same Questura statement as the Italian version already cited, so it adds a citation and one detail rather than independent confirmation of the figures.
The statement does not say whether the 20-year-old Tunisian taken to the CPR in Rome had any cannabis on him; his check is part of the same operation but not a drug offence.
This German-language page does not state that the 20 grams were packaged for sale, a detail present in the police statement already cited by the report.
The stol.it page gives no separate weight for the dose of hashish found on the 21-year-old, which is consistent with the report's existing open question.
The page does not say whether the three men reported on unrelated charges are counted among the seven people already reported, so those figures are left unchanged.
The article does not give a figure for how many people were involved in the checks beyond the 214 identified, and puts that total for the checks as a whole rather than for a named day.
Carabinieri of the Gorizia company found a 37-year-old man smoking a joint on the second floor of the disused Albero alla Transalpina in via Giuseppe Caprin on 10 November 2026 and seized more than two grams of marijuana. The man was taken to the company offices and reported to the Prefecture of Gorizia for possession of drugs for personal use; no arrest was reported.
Guardia di Finanza officers stopped a car in Lario Intelvese and recovered 21.2 grams of hashish thrown away by one of five youths. The youth was reported to the judicial authority for possession for dealing and the drugs were seized.
Carabinieri from the Donori station stopped two unemployed 20-year-olds from Ussana in a car and found a small amount of hashish and a packet of benzodiazepine medicines without a prescription. The pair were reported to the administrative authority and the driver lost his licence; nobody was arrested.
Carabinieri stopped a 35-year-old from Rieti at a checkpoint on State Road 4 Salaria by the disused ex Bosi industrial area in Cittaducale and found about 12 grams of hashish, a precision scale and packaging material in his car and home. He was released pending trial and reported to the prosecutor in Rieti on suspicion of holding drugs for sale.
