🇮🇹 Trenzano, Province of Brescia, Lombardy · Italy
Brescia police’s Mobile Squad arrested a 25-year-old Albanian man with no
criminal record who was living regularly in Italy, at a house in Trenzano in the
Province of Brescia.[1][2][3]Investigators acted on reports sent through Youpol,
the State Police’s official app, about a house in Trenzano.[1][3]Officers saw
him unloading large bags from his car, and during the check he admitted straight
away that he had drugs.[1][3]
Police seized90 kilograms of hashish and 60 kilograms of marijuana, part hidden
in the bags he was unloading and the rest kept in a wardrobe in the flat.[1][3]According to Giornale di Brescia, the flat had been turned into a drug warehouse
with equipment for storing and packing it for later sale.[4][3]Officers seized
seven refrigerated storage pits, two professional vacuum-packing machines, two
professional scales, packing material, adhesive rolls used to mark the different
kinds of drug, and a frequency detector for finding hidden microphones.[1][3]Under a pillow on the bed police found a Beretta 7.65-calibre semi-automatic
pistol with its serial number filed off, with several dozen rounds hidden in the
garage.[4][3]Police also seized the car used to carry the bags of drugs.[4][3]
He was arrested for possession of drugs for sale and illegal possession of
firearms.[1][3]On the prosecutor’s orders he was taken to Brescia prison after
the checks.[5][3]Brescia police chief Paolo Sartori revoked his residence permit
and issued an order for him to leave Italy, to be followed by expulsion.[1][3]BresciaToday estimated that at average Italian retail prices in the first half
of 2025 the load could have brought in about 1.5 million euros.[5]
Brescia police chief Paolo Sartori said the arrest had removed a particularly dangerous figure from organised crime in the province, and called drug dealing and drug use there anything but occasional.[2][3]
Sartori said the expulsion would take place with him escorted back to his country of origin once he is released from prison.[3]

Open questions the AI reported
The accounts say the operation took place nei giorni scorsi (in recent days) before 9 November 2026, so the incident date is approximate.
Bresciaoggi gives the hashish and marijuana amounts as 90 kg and 60 kg; Giornale di Brescia and BresciaToday give the same split but describe the quantities as approximate.
No court outcome is reported; the reports say only that he was taken to prison on the prosecutor's orders.
The 1.5 million euro retail value is BresciaToday's own estimate based on average national prices in the first half of 2025, not a police valuation, so it is not recorded as a figure.
No exact address in Trenzano is given; the coordinates are for the town centre.
No police statement on the Questura's own site was found for this arrest; the three accounts are local outlet reporting.
Gazzetta delle Valli reports that investigators first gathered information through the Youpol app near a house in Trenzano; the accounts already cited do not all state that the tip came through Youpol.
Prima Brescia, like the other accounts, gives no separate date for the arrest and does not say the operation took place on the publication day, 9 November 2026, which is used as the incident date.
