Control on the road

An ordinary road check, carried out by the Carabinieri of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Gallarate Company during a checkpoint in a peripheral road of Cardano al Campo, on the border with Gallarate, ended with the arrest of the Italian minor, already known to the police.

The boy was traveling on a scooter when the soldiers stopped him. During the personal search, seven packages containing hashish were found, with a total weight of just over 11 grams. The substance had already been divided into doses which, according to the police, were intended for sale.

The first segment of the story is therefore linked to a road traffic check and the search of the arrested young man. The discovery occurred on the minor's person, while the check was taking place on a peripheral road in the locality, indicated in the report as close to the border with Gallarate.

The arrest was carried out by the Carabinieri of the Gallarate Company through the Operations and Radiomobile Unit. The minor is accused of possession of narcotic substances for the purpose of trafficking. The reported dispute therefore concerns both the substance found during the checkpoint and the way in which, according to the military, the doses were prepared.

The stop on the scooter represented the beginning of the checks described in the news. After the on-site search, the police continued their activity in the boy's home, where other items and a further quantity of hashish were found.

Operational details

The search of the house

The discovery of the seven doses moved the checks from the street to the boy's home. After the stop and search, the military carried out a search in the minor's house. Here they found and seized another 88.3 grams of hashish, a different quantity from that found on the young man during the checkpoint.

The seized items

The knife seized is described as a switchblade. On the blade, the police found residues of narcotic substance. A precision scale was also seized from the same house, together with the material used to package the doses.

Among the items collected there are also a notebook and a smartphone. For the notebook, the report attributes to the investigators the hypothesis that it contained the drug dealing accounts. As for the telephone, however, it is reported that the young man would have used it to maintain contact with buyers.

The house search therefore added other objects indicated in the seizure to the quantity of hashish found during the roadside check. The list includes the substance, the knife with residue on the blade, the scale, the packaging material, the notebook and the smartphone.

In the overall balance indicated by the police, approximately one hundred grams of hashish were seized. The data brings together the little more than 11 grams found on the minor and the 88.3 grams found in his home, as reported in the report of the intervention.

Key points

After the formalities

The destination of the minor

After the formalities, the minor was transferred to the Juvenile Penal Institute 'Cesare Beccaria' in Milan, at the disposal of the Juvenile Judicial Authority.

The Milan destination is indicated at the end of the sequence described by the carabinieri. Before that there had been a roadblock on a road on the outskirts of Cardano al Campo, the detention of the youth who was traveling on a scooter and the search with the finding of seven hashish packages. Subsequently, the checks moved to the residence, where the other 88.3 grams and the material listed in the report were seized.

The transfer to Beccaria is therefore the operational follow‑up referred to after those checks and after the formalities. The indicated institute is located in Milan, while the check that gave rise to the intervention took place in Cardano al Campo, on the border with Gallarate.

The news also links this passage to the minor’s judicial position: the boy is at the disposal of the Juvenile Judicial Authority. The accusation reported by the carabinieri is possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, the same charge referred to in the arrest carried out at Cardano al Campo.

The report ends with the indication of the Juvenile Penal Institute 'Cesare Beccaria' in Milan as the boy’s destination after the formalities. No further steps beyond the transfer and the placement at the disposal of the juvenile judicial authority are reported.
