Carabinieri from the Vico nel Lazio station arrested a local man caught in the act of selling hashish near his home in an operation coordinated by the Alatri company.[1] Officers watching the area around 2 p.m. on 9 November 2026 noticed suspicious movements and saw him hand a package containing 4.25 grams of hashish to another local resident in exchange for a 50-euro banknote.[1] The patrol intervened immediately, stopping both individuals and recovering the drugs and the cash.[1]

A subsequent search of the suspect’s residence uncovered an additional 0.74 grams of hashish along with materials for packaging and consuming doses.[1] During identification procedures, the man presented an electronic identity card that had its microchip removed.[1] Carabinieri seized the tampered identity document for further criminal investigation.[1]

The man was placed under house arrest at his home at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Frosinone.[1] He was held on suspicion of supplying narcotic drugs.[2] The case is in the preliminary investigation phase, and the suspect is presumed innocent until any final conviction.[1]
