A 29-year-old Italian man was reported at liberty in Sand in Taufers (Campo Tures), South Tyrol, after Carabinieri targeted him during intensified anti-drug checks.[1] The man was already known to police for relevant previous offences, and the personal check was immediately extended to his habitual home.[1] The searches uncovered 127 grams of marijuana, 10 grams of hashish and a precision scale, which officers seized.[2]

Hours later, officers found and seized a carefully hidden block of approximately 100 grams of hashish at the edge of a residential area in Campo Tures, bringing the cannabis total to about 237 grams.[1] The block was initially attributed to unknown persons, and officers were investigating its exact origin and who had held it.[1]

All seized substances were to be sent to the Carabinieri drug laboratory in Leifers for qualitative and quantitative analysis.[2] The home search and the later discovery were two interventions in a series of anti-drug checks between Pusteria and Valle Aurina focused on Campo Tures.[3]
