Carabinieri arrested a 43-year-old man in San Costantino Albanese, in the province of Potenza.[1][2][3] Officers found 268 grams of marijuana and 109 grams of cocaine in his possession, the cocaine noted only to explain the mixed seizure.[1][2][3]

Inside the man’s sports bag, officers found two precision scales and five packets containing drugs.[1][2][3]

The investigating judge of the Lagonegro court later validated the arrest and ordered the suspect held in pretrial custody in prison.[1][2][3]

The operation was conducted by officers of the Terranova di Pollino station during a territorial control service arranged by the Senise Carabinieri company.[2][3] Officers also found small-denomination banknotes in the bag with the drugs, scales and wrappers.[2] On the order of the Lagonegro prosecutor, the man was taken to Potenza prison.[2][3]
