State police in Livorno arrested a man with prior records after he threw drugs away while trying to flee a street check. Officers recovered 37 cocaine packets, about 70 grams of hashish and about 330 euros, and took him to the local prison; only the cannabis portion is counted in the seizure total.
State police in Livorno arrested a man already known to law enforcement on
suspicion of possessing narcotic substances.[1][2]During a territorial control
patrol in the preceding days, officers of the Ufficio Prevenzione Generale e
Soccorso Pubblico, the police’s general prevention and public rescue unit,
stopped the suspect, who already had other police records.[1][2]At the sight of
the police officers, the suspect tried to flee and tried to dispose of the
narcotic substance he was carrying by throwing it to the ground.[1][2]He was
stopped immediately, and officers recovered the drugs and cash.[3][2]
The recovered material consisted of 37 packets of cocaine, about 70 grams of
hashish, a cannabis resin product, and about 330 euros in cash.[1][2]
Once the necessary procedures were completed at the police offices, officers
noted that the man, already known to police, had no stable employment.[1][2]For
those reasons, the arrested man was taken to the Casa Circondariale, the local
prison, to await decisions by the competent judicial authority.[1][2]

Open questions the AI reported
No exact date for the street check was published; the accounts place it in the preceding days, so the 10 November 2026 publication date stands in as the incident date.
LivornoToday's body text states 70 grams of hashish and 330 euros, whereas its standfirst, Livorno 24, and Corriere Livornese describe both amounts as approximate; the report treats both as approximate figures, and no laboratory confirmation was reported.
The cocaine is reported only as 37 packets with no published weight, and cocaine is excluded from the tracker's cannabis seizure figure.
No street value was published for the seized drugs.
The arrested man was not named, and his age and nationality were not published.
No charge wording beyond drug possession, and no validation hearing or court outcome, was reported.
All three accounts appear to reproduce the same police account without independent reporting of the arrest.
