Carabinieri in Fano went to the home of a 20-year-old man living in the city to look for a pistol.[1] The search followed a report from a relative of the young man, who said he had threatened her and suggested he had a firearm.[1] The only weapon in the flat was a replica with the classic red cap on its muzzle, a toy blank-firing pistol.[1]

A closer search of the bedroom found nine wraps containing hashish, 34 grams in total, and a precision scale.[1] The 20-year-old was arrested for possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing.[1] A court validated the arrest, while his lawyer asked for time to consider an alternative procedure or community service.[1] The young man was ordered to sign in with the police three times a week while the case continues.[1]
