Two young foreign men aged 25 and 22 were arrested by the Carabinieri in Colle Val d’Elsa on a charge of drug dealing.[1][2] The two men were already known to law enforcement.[1]

Officers noticed them aboard a Volkswagen Polo driving irregularly along via dei Mille.[1][2] On seeing the Carabinieri they tried to evade the check but were blocked by a second Carabinieri car.[1][2] A search of the car found 4 hashish blocks divided in 2 packages weighing 400 grams in total.[1][2]

Both were arrested in flagrante and placed by the judicial authority under house arrest at their respective residences pending the validation hearing.[1]

Antenna Radio Esse describes the two arrested men as a 25-year-old Moroccan and a 22-year-old Tunisian.[3]
