Carabinieri of the Radiomobile section of the Aversa company arrested a 48-year-old resident of Caserta province in Lusciano during a routine patrol on the evening of 5 November 2026.[1]

The search turned up 21 doses of hashish already packed into single portions for retail sale, weighing about 74 grams.[1] A second outlet put the weight of the 21 doses at 73.65 grams.[2] The hashish was seized and held pending deposit with the court’s evidence office.[2]

The man was arrested in flagrante, and after the judicial authority was informed he was placed under house arrest at his home awaiting a fast-track trial (rito direttissimo), the expedited hearing for offences caught in the act.[2] Edizione Caserta notes that the case is still at the preliminary investigation stage and that the suspect is presumed innocent until a final conviction.[2]
