Carabinieri of the Radiomobile unit of the Cittaducale company stopped a 35-year-old from Rieti at a checkpoint on State Road 4 Salaria, by the disused ex Bosi industrial area.[1] The patrol stopped him in the late morning on 7 November 2026, after he showed signs of possible drug-related impairment.[2]

They seized about 12 grams of hashish, the electronic precision scale and packaging material.[3] The man was released pending trial and reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rieti on suspicion of holding drugs for sale under article 73 of Presidential Decree 309 of 1990.[1]

The checks were part of the Rieti Provincial Command’s monitoring of sensitive places such as railway stations, public parks and youth gathering spots.[3] The case was at the preliminary-investigation stage, with any criminal liability to be assessed by the judicial authority.[1]
