Officers of the Flying Squad of the Lamezia Terme police station arrested three
people in via Isonzo, Lamezia Terme, on the afternoon of 31 October 2026 after a
chase and follow-up home searches.[1] Police held the three responsible on
various grounds.[1] A police-union account described those arrested as several
non-EU citizens and the site as a street dealing spot dismantled by the
operation.[1]
Officers seized more than 1.3 kilograms of drugs made up of hashish, cocaine and
marijuana, together with a precision scale and 5,625 euros in cash.[1] The
published accounts give only the combined weight for all three substances and no
separate weight for the hashish and marijuana.[2]
The FSP Polizia, COISP and SAP police unions publicly praised the Flying Squad
officers, crediting territorial control, patrol presence and investigative work.[1] Union representatives framed the seizure as drugs kept off local streets
and as protection for young people and families, while also calling for more
staffing, equipment and funding for the police.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- The 1.3 kg total mixes hashish, cocaine and marijuana with no per-substance breakdown, so no cannabis weight is recorded and the combined total is not counted as cannabis.
- The reports do not name the three arrested people or state their ages, charges or custody status.
- No court outcome or next procedural step is reported.
- The submitted page carries an image whose caption is only a file name, so whether it shows this seizure could not be established and no media entry is added.
- No separate police statement with an itemised seizure list was found among the opened sources.
- The text gives a weight ("1.3 kg") but the figures have no kg_seized; check whether it belongs there.
